AB In recent decades, there has been a growing body of research showing the relationshipbetween teaching work and several health problems, both physical and psychological. Some ofthese studies relate personal competencies and resources to teachers’ occupational health. Based onthe construct of Effective Personality, proposed by Martin del Buey, Martín Palacio, and Di Giusto,the aim was to analyse the relationship between the dimensions of the construct and Teachers’Occupational Health. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. It was based on the applicationof the Teacher Health Questionnaire (CSD) and the Efficacy Personality Questionnaire-Adults (CPEA). The sample consisted of 700 non-university teachers aged between 26 and 66 years, M = 47.65SD = 8.68. Descriptive, correlational, linear regression, and structural equation analyses were carriedout. The results confirmed the relationship between the Efficacy Personality construct and Teachers’Occupational Health (r = 0.45 **). In addition, the regression analysis indicated the relevance ofeach factor of Efficacy Personality in the factors of Teachers’ Occupational Health. The variance ofSelf-efficacy is the most explained by the dimensions of Efficacy Personality (40.2%), with positiverelationships. The structural equation analysis confirmed the influence between Efficacy Personalityand the factors of Self-Efficacy and Satisfaction, explaining 55.0% of the variance. It is concluded,therefore, that Efficacy Personality has a protective function on Teacher Occupational Health; thehigher the Efficacy Personality scores are, the better the results in health gain—Self-efficacy andsatisfaction—and the lower the result in health loss—burnout, cognitive affections, musculoskeletalaffections, and voice alterations. These results facilitate the design of prevention and interventionprogrammes for teachers’ occupational health, which strengthen and improve personal and socioaffective competencies.
