Chapter 5 Self-efficacy

              Self-efficacy is a person's belief about his or her chances of successfully accomplishing a specific task. To be someone who is self-efficient I believe you must be proud of the work you do and enjoy your work environment to be successful. Self-efficacy requires constructive action in all managerial areas. When speaking about job design your manager should build a job that is complex, challenging, and autonomous to enhance perceived self-efficacy. This will also help motivate your employees to want to do better and strive to get their job done right. When it comes time to train self-efficacy expectations for key tasks can be improved through guided experiences, mentoring, and role modeling. It all comes back to the way you make your employee feel needed and wanted to make the business what it is and what it should be. This will be achieved through high leadership skills and managers can prove themselves to be capable of this when given a chance to prove themselves under pressure and the way they help get their team through a task.
