Abstract
This study aims at finding out the relationship between social
adjustments and self-efficacy of university students. The
population of the study comprises of all the BS program
students studying in different departments of university of
Sargodha. Students selected through multistage random
sampling were 550. Research scales i.e. Student Adaptation to
College Questionnaire (SACQ) and General Self-Efficacy
Scale (GSES) were adapted with permission to measure the
self-efficacy and social adjustment of the students. Both the
instruments were made bilingual (in English and Urdu) for
clear comprehension of the students and better responses.
Pilot testing was carried out with respect to 100 students and
reliability coefficient Cronbach Alpha values for GSES, and
SACQ were 0.70, and 0.90 respectively. The study isa crosssectional survey. Data analysed through frequencies,
percentages and means was used to explore the social
adjustment of students. T-test, one-way ANOVA was used to
compare students’ social adjustment with respect to their
demographic variables and self-efficacy. The study led to the
following major findings: majority of students have moderate
social adjustment; male students have better social adjustment
than female students; majority of the students—boarders, day
scholars, urban, and rural have moderate and equivalent level
social adjustment. Furthermore, students of 8th semester have
better social adjustment than those in 2
nd semester and
students with high self-efficacy have better social adjustments.
Thus, it was recommended that guidance and counselling
facilities regarding the value of university education should be
provided to students to motivate them to use study time
efficiently at the university as well as at home.
