Abstract

This study aimed to explore self-efficacy, resilience, and job satisfaction among university faculty members, examining differences between male and female faculty. A cross-sectional design was used with 152 participants (51.3% male, 48.7% female) from various universities in Faisalabad, aged 25-40 years. Data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed using correlation, regression, mediation, and independent t-tests. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy, resilience, and job satisfaction. Additionally, self-efficacy mediated the relationship between resilience and job satisfaction. These results suggest that enhancing self-efficacy can improve job satisfaction, with resilience acting as a protective factor. The study has important implications for university management in Pakistan, highlighting strategies to increase faculty self-efficacy and job satisfaction.
