Data collection was conducted with 498 faculty members from 11 private institutions throughout four provinces of Pakistan. The sample included professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and lecturers. A total of six hundred questionnaires (N = 600) were disseminated to academic members of the specified institutions. Following three successive reminders, a total of four hundred ninety-eight (N = 498) questionnaires were collected from respondents, including 18% female and 82% male participants. In this research, nine percent (9%) of participants were professors, twenty-two percent (22%) were associate professors, thirty-eight percent (38%) were assistant professors, and the remaining thirty-one percent (31%) were lecturers. The findings indicated a significant relationship between TM and JS (.363), TM and PE (.337), TM and PC (.202), PC and JS (.323) and PE and JS (.420). PC and PE exhibited a partial mediation effect in the association between TM and JS.
