The Impact of Organizational, Leadership, and Colleague Support on Teaching Efficacy: Evidence from HX University

Abstract

This study investigates the level of teaching efficacy(TE) among full-time lecturers at Qingdao HX University and explores the relationship between organizational support(OS), leadership support(LS), and colleague support(CS) with teaching efficacy. Additionally, the study aims to determine whether these three support factors have a direct impact on lecturers' teaching efficacy. A questionnaire comprising four variables was employed to measure lecturers’ perceptions of different dimensions of support. Based on the collected data, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. The study sample consisted of 116 full-time lecturers at Qingdao HX University. The results indicate that lecturers at Qingdao HX University generally exhibit a moderately high level of teaching efficacy. Among the three dimensions perceived by lecturers, colleague support received the highest scores, followed by leadership support and organizational support. The analysis further reveals that organizational support, leadership support, and colleague support are all significantly and positively correlated with teaching efficacy, with organizational support and colleague support exerting a particularly significant impact.This study suggests that Qingdao HX University optimize management practices, strengthen resource allocation, and provide professional development opportunities. Additionally, fostering a collaborative work culture and promoting academic exchange can further enhance teaching efficacy and improve teaching quality.
