Abstract. The study explores the relationship between self-efficacy and well-being among university students and the mediating role of digital skills. The findings reveal a strong positive association between self-efficacy and all components of well-being, with the strongest correlations observed for achievement (R = 0.737, p < 0.001) and meaning (R = 0.583, p < 0.001). Regression analysis demonstrates that 54.33% of the variance in self-efficacy can be explained by well-being and digital skills (R² = 0.5433, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis confirms that digital skills partially mediate the relationship between well-being and self-efficacy, with an indirect effect of B = 0.1012. This highlights the significance of well-being as a primary predictor of self-efficacy, while digital skills strengthen this relationship. The results provide a basis for developing interventions aimed at enhancing self-efficacy and well-being through integrated educational strategies.
