Self-Efficacy has become a significant topic of investigation in both the psychological and in organizational literatures. Self-Efficacy is the faith in one's effectiveness in performing a specific task. People with high Self-Efficacy are presumed to set higher goals and outperform those with low Self-Efficacy. Self-Efficacy theory is an important factor of Bandura's social cognitive theory, which suggests high inter-relation between an individual's behavior, environment and cognitive factors. Bandura showed that difference in Self-Efficacy correlates to fundamentally different world views. People with high Self-Efficacy generally believe that they are in control of their own lives, that their own actions and decisions shape their lives, while people with low Self-Efficacy may see their lives as outside their control.
