The current research intends to study the effects of parenting styles on university student's self-efficacy and motivation to achievement. Moreover, it intends to examine how the differences in age, gender, education, and family support affect the aforementioned variables. Data was collected from 180 respondents(110 males and 70 females) between the age group of 19 to 30 years through a convenient sampling technique from Gilani Law College and the Institute of Media and Communication Studies at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and Parental Authority Questionnaire(PAQ;Buri, 1991) were used as tools for data collection. The results revealed that a relationship exists between self-efficacy and accomplishment motivation among the students, and so does between self-efficacy and parenting styles. The results indicated positive impacts of self-efficacy and achievement motivation of parenting styles among BZU students. The results of the current research would be a meaningful contribution to the existing literature.
