The Correlational Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Self-Esteem in the Organizational Context.

It is believed that a person with a high sense of self-efficacy will tend to have a high sense of self-esteem (Bandura, 1977). Organizationally speaking, self-esteem is an employee’s self-perceived competence while self-efficacy is an employee’s beliefs that their self-competence can be translated successfully. (Pierce, Gardner, Cummings, & Dunham, 1989).
