Teachers’ perceptions on collective efficacy, instructional strategies and student discipline facets of collective efficacy, and job satisfaction are moderately high. According to structural equation modeling, collective teacher efficacy positively affects teacher job satisfaction. Also the instructional strategies and student discipline facets of collective teacher efficacy affect job satisfaction. Based on the study results, the collective efficacy perceptions of teachers have to be reinforced in order to promote their job satisfaction. Future studies can be designed to investigate the relationships between collective efficacy, and individual and organizational outputs to extend the conceptual framework regarding to collective efficacy. So collective efficacy concept can be understood better and the perception of combined power are more utilized in schools
