| Summary: | This study is aimed at examining the levels of job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and self-efficacy. In other words, it examines the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction and the role of self-efficacy as the moderator of relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction in a convenience sample of 130 male and female lecturers from selected private colleges in Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, namely International Islamic College and Kolej UNIKOP. Self-administered scales such as the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ)-Short Form, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) were used to measure job satisfaction, general self-efficacy and life satisfaction of the lecturers respectively. Data were analyzed using single-sample t-test, Pearson product moment correlation, and multiple hierarchical regression. The present findings partially supported the current hypotheses. Single-sample t-tests indicated that the lecturers reported possessing significantly higher mean job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and general self-efficacy scores than the theoretical average scores on the three scales. The result of the correlation analysis revealed that job satisfaction positively correlated with life satisfaction and general self-efficacy. However, general self-efficacy did not correlate significantly with life satisfaction. General self-efficacy failed to significantly moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. The present findings imply that raising job satisfaction of lecturers would be useful because it correlated significantly with both life satisfaction and self-efficacy. |
