Working students aim for professional experience, skills, income, and tuition benefits but could face such challenges with their time, health, personal, and academic life. nevertheless, they can still thrive, and this is where self-efficacy and grit comes into play. Little research has explored the effects of self-efficacy and grit on the achievement of employed students, and none had examined both variables to determine which one plays a more significant role. Thus, the goal of this research is to examines the level of self-efficacy and grit among college working students and which of the two factors predicts thriving behavior. The study utilized a quantitative, specifically a predictive survey research design to measure the self-efficacy, grit, and thriving of the 70 non-academic scholars from CIT-University. The results of this study revealed that Non-Academic Scholars have high levels of self-efficacy, mostly gritty, and a common range of thriving. It was also revealed that grit is not significant to thriving, while self-efficacy predicts thriving. Lastly, the results suggest that as self-efficacy among Non-Academic Scholars increases, their thriving level increase based on the weighted ordinary least squares.
