Abstract	Within the expanding climate of academic capitalism, the public university faculty's professional true to self-authenticity is diminishing. For faculty, professional true to self-authenticity is a genuineness embedded within an absolute, natural and core self-expression of academic professionalism. In this current study, a research platform (psycho-social construct and self-appraisal instrument) was developed to assess faculty's professional true to self-authenticity based on faculty identity, self-aspect of authenticity, durable occupational happiness, autonomy (latitude of academic freedom) and self-competency. Faculty at a public university completed a web-based questionnaire derived from the proposed research platform. Through factor analysis, factor scores were obtained to perform a multiple regression. The result of this data analysis showed the possibility of an inverse relationship between durable happiness and self-competency for public university faculty. Overall, this study offers important researchable directions for future investigations within professional self-authenticity of faculty. (As Provided).
