Self Efficacy by Albert Bandura
The Exercise of Control
A comprehensive exploration of how beliefs about one’s capabilities shape human agency, this work explains how perceived efficacy influences the goals people set, the effort and persistence they invest, the emotions they experience, and the choices they make. It details the primary sources of efficacy beliefs—mastery experiences, vicarious learning, social persuasion, and interpretations of physiological and affective states—and shows how these beliefs operate through self-regulatory processes such as goal setting and outcome expectations. Drawing on extensive research, it demonstrates the impact of both individual and collective efficacy across domains like education, health, clinical practice, organizations, and sport, and outlines practical strategies for strengthening resilience, motivation, and performance.
