Data on family resilience, self-efficacy beliefs, and academic achievement (GPA) were collected using validated scales and institutional records. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-27 and AMOS-21. Pearson correlation coefficients were computed to examine bivariate relationships, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was performed to test the mediating role of self-efficacy. Model fit indices, including χ²/df, GFI, AGFI, CFI, TLI, and RMSEA, were used to evaluate the adequacy of the structural model.</p> <p><strong>Findings: </strong>Results revealed significant positive correlations between family resilience, self-efficacy beliefs, and academic achievement (r = .41–.56, all p &lt; .01). The SEM demonstrated acceptable fit indices (χ²/df = 2.05, GFI = 0.93, AGFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.051). Family resilience significantly predicted self-efficacy (B = 0.32, β = 0.56, p &lt; .001), while self-efficacy positively influenced academic achievement (B = 0.28, β = 0.47, p = .002). The direct path from family resilience to academic achievement was also significant (B = 0.19, β = 0.29, p = .004). Moreover, the indirect effect of family resilience on academic achievement through self-efficacy was significant (B = 0.09, β = 0.18, p = .006), confirming the mediating role of self-efficacy.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The findings highlight that family resilience contributes to adolescent academic achievement both directly and indirectly through self-efficacy beliefs. Strengthening family resilience and fostering adolescents’ self-efficacy may serve as key strategies for enhancing academic outcomes.</p> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/aftj/article/download/4512/8224
