Describe about the Developing Leadership Abilities for Self Motivation.

Self-efficacy is a word to describe the one’s inner ability, behavior, motivation, and leading personality. In another word, self efficacy is the technical process to check his/her ability to succeed in a particular task or situation. The basic principle behind self-efficacy is one’s fear to face the situation or one’s determination to complete the task with confidence. To identify one’s ability to take responsibility and practicing strategies, the self-efficacy test is the one and only way. For students, self-efficacy test works as a guide towards his growing mentality and in the case of business, self efficacy helps to improve their area. However, self-efficacy helps every human to do more difficult tasks, work harder to accomplish them and also determined despite the several obstacles.

So we have to discuss hope the self-efficacy can be developed.

Development of self-efficacy is a long term procedure through proper guidance and observations. It is likely to make music. In which every part plays a different role to make the music euphonic. Same like the music, to develop self-efficacy a step by step should be followed.

Self-efficacy is a test on self- observation, self- evaluation, self- reaction and self-motivation. There are many reasons for people to believe and feel the sense of control in itself (Eller, Lev, Yuan, & Watkins, 2016).

Why it is needed and what is the purpose to have a look on this matter so seriously?

As of now in the competing world, students have to face many good or bad situations in their developing time so it is the main purpose of the study to guide student’s whit good self-efficacy and help them to grow the motivation from the beginning of their life. The motivational outcomes that can be measurable part are student activity choices, effort, persistence and emotional reactions (YeÅŸilyurt, UlaÅŸ, & Akan, 2016). 

Fresher in business industries also face many highs and lows in the starting of their career so it is a very sensitive matter to found and develop their mental situation and to motivate them to do difficult tasks and to prepare them for future carrier concentration. For business leader to be effective and successful in both business and personal lives, they require the right competencies, skills, and behaviors meet the objectives of their business

Teachers and business leaders still seek advice on the development of students and employees in their organizational place. Individuals can learn adaptive behavior that can address a certain situation (Waaktaar & Torgersen, 2013).

Literature Review

However, the type of personality of an individual may not change in a minute but it is a long schedule process. Based on, situations and environment that changes are vital to succeed and improving the upper stage of anyone.

Self-efficacy is the measure of one’s capability to do a task or face a challenge. Sometimes he/she may not be well aware of the self-efficacy of himself/herself. So they motivate themselves personally and consistently refresh their pattern of thinking (Graham, 2011). The main aim of growing self-efficacy is to persist as self-leaders in an adverse situation. Self-leadership is the practice which intentionally affects their feelings, behaviour and thinking manner. By which a person can execute certain behavior to perform the desired work. Self-efficacy also helps to try to do more that more difficult than previous. How much the person will try, as many his skill and knowledge will grow that helps to grow the self-efficacy to do more and challenging work (Siritararatn, 2013).

Thus self-efficacy can influence the choice of activities, efforts, persistent and achievement.

Self-efficacy can be a very useful practice in the business industry so how it helps the business in the main topic to discuss.

Beliefs of self-efficacy are the key advantage drivers to change and determine the outcomes in every aspect of life. Through the above research what result we get that there present two types of self-efficacy employees (김미옥 & ChongNak Son, 2013). The goals and the things that the employees want to change or that they want to accomplish are always not same. People’s realization put into the action is not as simple as they thought. On the other hand, we can found that self-efficacy of one depends on how the challenges, goal and desired task are approached to them. Self-efficacy among the people is present in two types. One is strong that helps them to face the challenging problems and quick recovery from setbacks. Other is a weak sense that force to avoid challenging task and it has some negative outcomes and lose personal abilities.

When it is a matter self-efficacy then some problem and questions arise they are as follows-

How does self-efficacy develop?

Self-efficacy can be strong or weak depending upon the employees with a variety of mind. From the starting of their career, it is a good practice for future to develop their self-efficacy by proper guidance to face them with challenging work (Bell & Smith, 2010). If they try or failed it will help to grow their skill and knowledge that will help them to face more difficulty.

Research objectives and analysis

What are positive and negative effects of self-efficacy?

It is good to practice for self-efficacy but sometimes it effects very dangerous. It affects more on fresher employees because that is a time of development of their new carrier (Condon & Holleque, 2013). It is true that for a new challenge they will get enthuse but if they fail many times the effects demotivate them. But positive result helps them to do more difficult work and they can get promotions very easily.

What are the key factors to developing self-efficacy?

To develop self-efficacy for both business leaders and employees some steps must be practiced and need a good monitoring (Mattingly & Lewandowski, 2013). The key factors are as follows

Personal performance influences perspectives abilities. A successful experience grows the self-efficacy whereas failure will weaken the self-efficacy.

It is a very much needed criterion for fresher employees. It is basically a practice to learn from observation and if the employees have to perform the same task in future as per the observation then there is a big chance of getting success in that work which will increase their self-efficacy (Caprara, Alessandri, Barbaranelli, & Vecchione, 2013).

If leaders convinced a fresher employee to perform an unknown task with assurance then the employee get a satisfaction that he is able to do this. It can result in two ways that if he get succeed then confidence level will increase and no matter if he failed though he will learn how to face a new challenge.

The abilities also depend on some factors such as mood, feelings, and emotions. If an employee is so much nervous then he can experience with a low sense of self-efficacy (Mojavezi & Tamiz, 2012). But if he is confident then he experiences a great sense of excitement which will increase his self-efficacy.

The research information about how self-efficacy among the managers contributed to their leadership behavior (Ugalde, Krishnasamy, & Schofield, 2014). To mobilize the cognitive resources conviction of people should imply. From the various employee’s self-efficacy is linked with their training and knowledge of experience and as a result, the development of set appearing helps to gain self-efficacy. It was also found that the development of self-efficacy depends on the past experience and the previous work performance that the employees had attained.

Conclusion:

Self-efficacy is the realization of one’s ability to do a new work or to face a new situation. It has bad effects as wells good effects. It can grow the leadership among the employees of a company and also will help the leader to handle their employees in a good manner. From the very beginning of a childhood, the immature mind faces so many highs and lows so the practice of self-efficacy starts from very childhood. Now a day’s it become a manner among people so it loses confidence level. So it should be clear from school life to all the students as a subject that they can be well aware of self-efficacy and can prepare them how to face it. So self-efficacy is a must needed a topic for the students of school level.
