“Nothing is more
tragic than a
confused person
who does not know
who he or she is
and functions
beneath his or her
potentials.”
(Corpuz et al.
2019)
The concept of self-
efficacy was introduced
ALBERT
BANDURA by Albert Bandura in an
article entitled "Self-
efficacy: Toward a
Unifying Theory of
Behavioral Change"
published in
Psychological Review in
1977.

Social Learning Theory
focuses on what people learn
from observing and
interacting with people.
Albert Bandura’s social
cognitive theory states
that people are active
participants in their
environment and are not
simply shaped by that
environment.

What is self-
efficacy?
Bandura defined self –
efficacy as “people’s belief
about their capabilities to
produce designated levels of
performance that exercise
influence over events that
affect their lives.”
Self – Efficacy is the way
a person perceives his
own abilities and
competence in dealing
with a problem or
challenge.
ACTS OF PEOPLE
WITH HIGH
ASSURANCE OF THEIR
CAPABILITIES:
1. APPROACH DIFFICULT TASKS AS CHALLENGES
TO BE MASTERED.
2. SET CHALLENGES GOALS AND MAINTAIN
STRONG COMMITMENTS TO THEM
3. HEIGHTEN OR SUSTAIN THEIR EFFORTS IN THE
FACE OF FAILURES OR SETBACKS
4. ATTRIBUTE FAILURE TO INSUFFICIENT EFFORT
OR DEFICIENT KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS WHICH
ARE ACQUIRABLE
5. APPROACH THREATENING SITUATIONS WITH
ASSURANCE THAT THEY CAN EXERCISE
CONTROL OVER THEM.
In contrast, people who "doubt their
capabilities":
14 Research Findings
made by Locke (2017)
under the article
"Motivation Through
Conscious Goal Setting"
1. The more the difficult
the goal, the greater
the achievement.
2.The more specific or
explicit the goal, the more
precisely performance is
regulated.
3. Goals that are
both specific and
difficult lead to the
highest
performance.
4. Commitment to
goals is most critical
when goals are
specific and difficult.
5. High commitment
to goals is attained
when the individual is
convinced that the
goal is important and
attainable.
6. Self-efficacy influences
the difficulty level of the
goal chosen or accepted;
commitment to goals; the
response to negative
feedback or failure; and the
choice of task strategies.
7. Goal setting is most
effective when there is
feedback that shows
progress in relation to
the goal.
8. Goal setting (along with
self-efficacy) mediates the
effect of knowledge of
past performance on
subsequent performance.
9. Goal affects
performance by
affecting the
direction of action,
the degree of effort
exerted, and the
persistence of action
over time.
10. Goals stimulate
planning in
general.
11. When people strive for goals
on complex tasks, they are least
effective in discovering suitable
task strategies if:
a. they have no prior experience
or training on the task;
b. there is high pressure to
perform well; and
c. there is high time pressure (to
perform immediately).
12. Goals (including goal
commitment), in
combination with self-
efficacy, mediate or
partially mediate the
effects of several
personality traits and
incentives on performance.
13. Goal-setting and goal-
related mechanisms can be
trained and/or adopted in
the absence of training for
the purpose of self-
regulation.
14. Goals serve as
standards of self-
satisfaction, with harder
goals demanding higher
accomplishment in order to
attain self-satisfaction that
easy goals.
