• Key evidence indicates that high creative self-efficacy can counteract feelings of burnout, promoting better work behavior.
• Analysis of educational systems highlights the need to understand how self-efficacy and burnout interact over time, affecting educators.
• Implications suggest that enhancing creative self-efficacy may mitigate burnout, but further research is needed in diverse educational contexts.
