Abstract: EFL teachers play a pivotal role in the success of educational systems. This study aimed to achieve two main objectives: first, to explore the relationship among EFL teachers' self-efficacy, reflective teaching, and sense of teaching style; second, to identify which of these variables predict job satisfaction among EFL teachers. To achieve these aims, a total of 120 EFL teachers from Iraqi Kurdistan were selected using convenience sampling from schools in Hawler, Sulaimani, and Halabja. Data were gathered through the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale, the English Language Teaching Inventory, the Teachers' Sense of Teaching Style Questionnaire, and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The analysis revealed significant relationships among the variables. Furthermore, findings highlighted that reflective teaching was the only significant predictor of job satisfaction among EFL teachers in Iraqi Kurdistan.
