The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between academic support and well-being. A correlational research design with a structural equation modeling approach was employed. The population comprised students enrolled at the Cultural Revolution University in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province in the academic year 2023-2024. A convenience sample of 266 students was selected. The research instruments included the Academic Support Scale (ASS) by Sands and Plunkett (2005), the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) by Luthans et al. (2007), and the Academic Well-being Questionnaire (AWBQ) by Pietarinen et al. (2014). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. The results indicated a good fit for the research model. The findings revealed significant direct effects of academic support on academic well-being (p = .01), academic support on psychological capital (p = .02), and psychological capital on academic well-being (p = .005). Additionally, the results indicated a significant indirect effect of academic support on academic well-being mediated by psychological capital (p = .01). These results suggest that academic support, by influencing psychological capital, can lead to students' happiness, satisfaction, and ultimately, academic well-being in their academic and educational activities.
