This study was done with the aim of identifying the relationship between the percepted social support and the subdimensions of the teacher's self-capacity. A correlational model was used in the study. The sample of the study consists of 308 teachers who are working in the 2018-2019 educational year in the state schools located in the Hatay province. The study used the "Personal Information Form" to measure the perceptible social support, the "Multi-dimensional perceptible social support scale" and the "Teacher's Self-Qualification scale" to measure the perceptible self-qualifications of teachers. In data analysis, illustrative analysis, correlation and structural equality modeling have been used by statistical techniques. According to the results of the structural equality modeling; the social support perceived positively affects the perception of self-sufficiency. In addition to this, the subdimensions of the multi-dimensional social support of the family, a particular person and friends are positively influenced by self-sufficiency. The relative importance of the influence of the subdimensions of social support on self-capacity has been found in the form of friends, family and a private person. It has been determined that teachers’ perceptions of social support influence their belief in self-sufficiency. Teachers are advised to be informed about social support for their families, friends and managers to improve their self-capacity.
