The present investigation was intended to ascertain the role of self efficacy and spiritual values on life satisfaction among school teachers. Sample consisted of 120 school teachers from different districts of Uttar Pradesh, India. They were assessed by Teacher’s Self Efficacy scale (Ansari M., Khan S.A. and Khan S.M., 2017), Spiritual Values Scale (Husain A., Zehra S. and Jahan M., 2015) and Life Satisfaction Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffen, 1985). Pearson product moment correlation was applied to study the relationship among self efficacy, spiritual values and life satisfaction, whereas it was found that these all variables are positively and significantly correlated with each other. Before proceeding to regression analysis robustness of the data was examined and found appropriate to go ahead. The multiple linear (stepwise) regression was administered to study the contribution of teacher’s self efficacy and spiritual values on life satisfaction, result shows that teacher’s self efficacy and spiritual values are accounted for a significant amount of variance in life satisfaction of school teachers.
