Abstract:

Self-esteem and self-efficacy have a significant role in determining an individual's success and failure. They have an impact on the effort someone makes to achieve their objectives. People who have high self-efficacy work harder to complete tasks than those who have low self-efficacy, and those who have high self-esteem have positive views of themselves. People low on self-esteem have a tendency to be critical of themselves. The purpose of the study was to correlation between college students' self-esteem and self-efficacy as well as to comprehend how self-efficacy affects self-esteem in a predictive manner. For the study, a sample of 99 undergraduate college students was taken. College students' general self-efficacy and self-esteem were assessed using the general self-efficacy scale and Rosenberg self-esteem scale respectively. As a statistical tool for the investigation, Pearson's correlation and simple linear regression were performed. According to the study's findings, among undergraduate college students there is a positive relationship between self-esteem and self-efficacy. Additionally, it has been discovered that self-efficacy might predict a person's level of self-esteem.
