    Level of Occupational, BrickStress and Self-Efficacy on the Productivity of Blocklaying, Bricklaying and Concreting Teachers in Technical Colleges in North Central, Nigeria
    (Book of Proceedings of 10th International Conference of School of Science and Technology Education, Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2024) Tsado, E. G.; Igwe, C. O.; Saba, T. M.
    The study investigates the Level of pressure of occupational stress and self-efficacy on Blocklaying, Bricklaying and Concreting teachers (BBC) productivity in Technical Colleges in North Central, Nigeria. The study utilized quantitative method. The population of the study was 83 BBC teachers from Technical Colleges offering BBC subjects in the 6 North Central States and the Federal Capital Territory. Census sampling was carried out to select the entire 83 BBC teachers from the Technical Colleges in North Central States including the FCT. The study used a structured questionnaire of a 4-point Scale rating as the instrument of data collection validated by 3 research experts. Frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation were employed to analyze the individual responses of the respondents while regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between level of pressure of occupational stress and level of self-efficacy on teachers’ productivity of BBC teachers in Technical Colleges. The findings of the study revealed a coefficient of -0.3.46 of occupational stress and 0.260 of self-efficacy respectively indicating an inverse relationship between occupational stress and BBC teachers’ productivity and a positive relationship between selfefficacy and BBC teachers’ productivity. In addition, the study revealed that both occupational stress and self-efficacy have significant relationship with teachers’ productivity at 5°o level of parenthesis. The study however recommends that technical colleges should focus on implementing strategies that will effectively manage and reduce stress levels among teachers and focus on building teachers’ self-efficacy belief.
