The present study was conducted to investigate the perceptions of experienced and novice teachers as to the effect of intrinsic factors (motivation, self- concept, anxiety, autonomy) on teacher efficacy. To this end, 53 experienced teachers who had more than 10 years of experience in teaching and 46 novice teachers who had less than 3 years of experience in teaching participated in the study. A 4part questionnaire (each part measuring the perceptions of the teachers about one of the intrinsic factors) was administered to all participants. To analyze the obtained data, the responses of the participants to each part of the questionnaire were analyzed separately. A Mann Whitney U procedure was used to compare the views of experienced and novice teachers with regard to each part. Results indicated that there were significant differences between novice and expert teachers as to the effects of anxiety and autonomy on teacher efficacy. However, the views of experienced and novice teachers did not differ significantly when it came to the effect of these factors on teacher efficacy.
