The author provides a brief overview of A. Bandura's (1977, 1997) self‐efficacy theory, followed by a discussion of the value of this theory to career counselors, which includes particularly useful features of the concept of self‐efficacy and suggestions for its application in career assessment and counseling, with a special focus on group interventions.
