Entrepreneurial Self-Efficiency (ESE) is articulated as being necessary for a person to be a
successful businessman because the solution to unemployment issues is expected to be
entrepreneurship.Self-Efficacy is a fundamentallyessentialcomponent of entrepreneurial
psychological studies and it is also incorporated into model entrepreneurship plans to
understand that specific individual becomes entrepreneurs more likely than others. Hence, the
present research aims to analyze the influence of demographic variables on the ESE of public
and private school teachers in South Punjab. Data was obtained from 1436 teachers who had
been conveniently selected from public and private schools. The findings indicated a
substantial difference between public and private teachers in terms of ESE. Moreover,
teachers’ job status and monthly income emerged as the main predictors of teachers’ ESE.
The article ends by suggesting that further research should explore different other predictors
and various facets of entrepreneurship as well as the views and expectations of teachers and
their importance in entrepreneurship education
