Summary/Abstract: The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between teacher autonomy and teacher' sense of self-efficacy. To carry out this study, 100 EFL teachers (male and female) who taught in English institutes participated voluntarily. The researchers employed a couple of self-reported questionnaires, teacher autonomy scale (TAS) and Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale which measures the individual sense of self efficacy. The two questionnaires were administered to 100 teachers. After gathering the raw data from the questionnaires, the SPSS software was employed to have some statistical and interpretable data. The Pearson product Moment correlation indicated that there was a negative reversed relationship between the two variables; in the other words, more teacher autonomy leads to lower level of self-efficacy.
