Abstract: The study focused on a model for the self-concept of teachers based on the relationships between interpersonal support, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy. The objective was to understand how these variables interact to influence the self-concept of teachers. The study involved 1000 secondary public school teachers from different schools in Region XI, Philippines using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Findings showed significant correlations between the endogenous variable, self-concept, and the following exogenous variables namely: interpersonal support, emotional intelligence, and self-efficacy. Further, Model 3 was the best-fit structural model in which all exogenous variables had a direct influence on the endogenous variable, self-concept. Through a series of structural modifications, Model 3 revealed that self-concept was defined by its three retained indicators namely: competence, acceptance of risk, and initiatives while the two retained indicators measured interpersonal support namely: principals and co-teachers. Emotional intelligence was described by its two remaining domains: self-regulation, and social skills. On the other hand, self-efficacy was assessed by its two retained elements, namely: managing students’ content and instructional practices and support. The findings of this study imply teachers adequate interpersonal support by providing them training on emotional intelligence and self-efficacy.
