This study aimed to identify and analyze teacher self efficacy (TSE) of physical education teachers and their relationship to personal satisfaction and willingness to continue in the teaching activity. Participated 220 teachers who taught in public and private schools from region of Campinas and Vale do Paraíba, SP. We used a range of teaching self efficacy questionnaire and a characterization. The TSE was elevated, and the effectiveness of the management class was significantly lower when teachers had low or medium levels of satisfaction. In despite of the positive trend in the perception of teachers, promoting TSE seems to be relevant, especially when it discussed its role in prevention or intervention against the health of teachers.
