Respondents where asked about demographic, selfefficacy, quality of family life, quality of working life and quality of social life. The data was analyzed by the descriptive statistics, e.g., frequency, percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, Cross Tabulations Table, Pearsons Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression. The results showed that all variables pairs were positively correlated. Selfefficacy was correlated with the quality of working life (r = 0.663) at the statistical level of 0.01. Self-efficacy was correlated with the quality of family life (r = 0.457) at the statistical level of 0.01. Self-efficacy was correlated with the quality of social life (r = 0.407) at the statistical level of 0.01.
