The present study aims at delving into English as foreign language teachers’ attributions by investigating the role of teacher attributions in teacher burnout and teacher self-regulation. This is accomplished by building a causal structural model through which the associations among these constructs are estimated. The results demonstrate that the proposed model has a good overall fit with the empirical data. It is also revealed that internal and controllable attributions positively predict teachers’ self-regulatory skills, whereas teacher burnout is associated with external and uncontrollable attributions.
