Abstract: Self-efficacy, psychological resilience and professional beliefs of employees in an educational organisation are reflected on their performance. In the literature, there are studies explaining the relationship between these three conceptual variables in a binary sense. It may be important to evaluate these three variables, which are thought to be related to each other, together. On this basis, this study investigated the effect of teachers' self-efficacy perceptions on professional beliefs and psychological resilience. The research employed the survey model, which is among the quantitative research approaches. The sample for the research included a total of 163 individuals who volunteered to participate. The data collection tool used in the research consists of personal information (gender, professional seniority, age, number of in-service trainings attended, educational level, and type of school where they work), the Short Psychological Resilience Scale, the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale and the Teachers' Professional Beliefs Scale was used. To determine the reliability of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. As a result of the analyses conducted, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for all scales was generally found to be above 0.70. In a results of research, no statistically significant differences were found in psychological resilience, self-efficacy perception, and professional beliefs based on participants' gender, educational level, and the number of in-service trainings they attended. However, significant differences were observed based on participants' ages and professional seniority. In another results of research The analysis examining the relationship between self-efficacy perception and both psychological resilience and professional beliefs indicated a statistically significant moderate relationship between self-efficacy perception and its sub-dimensions with teachers' professional beliefs and their sub-dimensions, whereas no statistically significant relationship was found between self-efficacy perception and its sub-dimensions with psychological resilience.
