Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regressions. Descriptive statistics revealed that most respondents have moderate level of psychological well-being. The findings of this study revealed that the work stress (r value = 0.499), family stress (r value = 0.418), academic stress (r value = 0.287 )and financial stress (r value = 0.323) have a relationship and significantly influence on the psychological well-being. Whereas self-efficacy and psychological well-being (r value = -0.148) has a negative correlation. The results of multiple regression analysis indicates only two dimensions of stress factors are significantly influence on psychological well-being i.e. work stress and family stress as the value of p are less than 0.05 (p < 0.05).
