The population of this research was 2181 faculty members. 436 faculty members were selected through random stratified cluster sampling. Data collection tools were a researcher-made 27-items questionnaire for assessing teaching quality (chronbach alpha= 0.861), A researcher made 13-items questionnaire for assessing their competencies (chronbach alpha=0.866), and Schwartzer et al. questionnaire for assessing faculty members’ self-efficacy. Multiple regression and Structural equation modeling were used to specify the portion of mentioned factors in teaching quality. Results showed that faculty members’ self-efficacy (0.31) and their competencies (0.33) had a significant positive relationship with teaching quality. In addition, there was a significant positive relationship (0.36) between self-efficacy and competencies. The gender of faculty members had a significant effect on their competencies
