In this paper we point to mutual relations of experienced teacher’s stress ( in all areas – cognitive, emotional, physical
and social) with coping strategies (Proactive coping, Reflective coping, Strategic planning, Preventive coping,
Instrumental support seeking, Emotional support seeking, Avoidance coping) and with self-efficacy of teachers.
Based on professional resources, we assumed and discovered a considerable positive relation between proactive
coping and self-efficacy by 291 teachers from Slovak republic.
