Abstract: This research aimed to examine the relationship between cultural awareness and student well-being at Prince of Songkla University, Pattani Campus, with cultural self-efficacy as a mediating variable; and to propose administrative guidelines to enhance student well-being in a multicultural society. The sample consisted of 531 undergraduate students. The research instrument was a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, validated for content validity by experts. The measurement model demonstrated a good fit with the empirical data. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and content synthesis. The findings revealed that the structural model had a total effect of 0.519, significant at the .01 level. Notably, cultural awareness had no significant direct effect on well-being (direct effect = 0.022). However, it exerted a significant indirect effect through cultural self-awareness (indirect effect = 0.497), accounting for 95.7% of the total effect. This indicates that cultural awareness serves as a fundamental factor influencing cultural self-awareness (0.755), which in turn significantly enhances well-being (0.659). Consequently, the researcher proposed administrative guidelines focused on policy-driven learning ecosystems. These policies should not only promote awareness of cultural differences but also incorporate processes that strengthen students' cultural self-awareness. Such an approach aims to reduce anxiety about intercultural interaction, ultimately leading to sustainable well-being in a multicultural society.
