This study aims to investigate the impact of modern technologies on teachers' efficacy at the university level. The researchers used ex-post facto (causal-comparative) survey research design in the current quantitative study to collect data from teachers. The sample comprised male and female university teachers selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was facilitated by a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and a dual-option checklist, validated by experts and pilot-tested for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha. The results revealed that university teachers predominantly employ technologies such as Microsoft Office, laptops, mobile phones, projectors, Zoom applications, Google Meet, WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, and email in their teaching activities. Furthermore, it was found that modern technologies significantly impact teachers' efficacy. It is recommended that modern technological devices, applications, and software be made available in all public sector universities to enhance teachers' efficacy.
