The study regarding telework should be given proper attention, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic in the last two years. It is widely known that telework impacts employees in many aspects, especially academicians who play a significant role in the academic progress of college and university students. This study aims to determine the relationship between telework factors in three areas: Motivation, Self-Efficacy, Self-Efficiency, Job Performance, and job performance. 369 samples were selected randomly from 8788 academic staff members of 13 UiTM branches. This study examined the link between every factor related to telework with job performance. The study used SPSS Version 22 to analyse the collected data. The findings showed that while all variables have moderate, positive relationships with job performance, only telework motivation and self-efficacy influence the job performance among academic staff in UiTM. A future study is suggested to determine the roles of telework self-efficiency towards job performance among management staff in UiTM because it’s proof that these two variables have weak influences among UiTM’s academician.
