Human capital (employability skills, social and psychological capital) is one of the most vital resources for improving university teachers' teaching performance and contributing to the growth of universities. Using a quantitative research method, the current study intended to investigate the gender differences of university teachers' human capital. Six universities were chosen randomly through multistage sampling. The study's sample included 309 university teachers. For data collection, the researcher used three adapted questionnaires. The findings revealed that female and male university teachers had the same degree of acquired and required employability skills. Based on the findings, male and female university teachers' social capital was determined to be similar in all dimensions (social structure, professional structure, cognitive dimension, and relational dimension). Besides, the findings revealed that female and male university teachers had equivalent level of psychological capital in all aspects (Self-efficacy, Hope, Resilience, and Optimism). Female and male university teachers' teaching performance (personal attributes, Teaching learning process, responsibility and punctuality, and job security and environmental factors) were determined to be identical. A similar study might be undertaken in different provinces with different professions to see if the findings are generalizable. Similar study may be carried out with different variables to observe the gender wise differences among university teachers.
