ABSTRACT

Self-efficacy refers to one’s belief in their ability to succeed, influencing motivation and resilience. Life satisfaction reflects overall well-being and positive outcomes. This study explores their relationship among second-year students at St. Paul University Philippines. A descriptive correlation research design was used with 272 randomly selected students. The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) measured self-efficacy and life satisfaction, respectively. The findings show a positive correlation between self-efficacy and life satisfaction students with high self-efficacy also reported greater life satisfaction. Results suggest that enhancing self-efficacy may improve life satisfaction. These insights support student development programs, with future research needed on interventions to strengthen both constructs.
