Based on social exchange theory, this study explores the influence of perceived organizational support and self-efficacy on normal university students’ intelligent teaching competence. A total of 311 normal university students from a university in Fujian Province were selected as the research subjects. The results indicate that perceived organizational support not only directly affects normal university students’ intelligent teaching competence, but also indirectly influences it by affecting self-efficacy. Self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role between perceived organizational support and intelligent teaching competence. Based on these findings, targeted cultivation strategies are proposed to enhance the intelligent teaching competence of normal university students.
