Abstract
Every educational system tends to achieve the best possible quality, which is commonly reflected
in students and institutional achievements. To achieve this goal, teacher plays an important role.
This research examines three aspects, teachers’ self-efficacy, commitment as well as job
satisfaction at university level. Specific study objectives were based on assessing the level of
commitment, self-efficacy and job satisfaction in both male and female university level teachers.
Through cluster and random sampling methods, 811 teachers were selected from 195 universities
in which 116 were public and 79 were private. A five point Likert scale of 29 items was
constructed for collecting data from teachers. Through pilot testing, reliability dimension in the
questionnaire measuring commitment included 11 items observed a high coefficient value
(α = 0.813). Self-efficacy contained 7 items and showed a good reliability measure (α = 0.807)
while job satisfaction had 11 items with 0.840 coefficient value. Overall reliability of the
questionnaire was 0.940. The data were analyzed with relevant tests. Overall results showed that
teachers were positive towards their self-efficacy, commitment and job satisfaction but there are
some weak points at different levels of variables which have been highlighted in this research.
Some recommendations for solving these issues have also been made.
