This paper gives a review of some basic principles of self- efficacy theory. Basic elements of self-efficacy theory are discussed, as well as their sources in die social-cognitive dieory of personality. Effects of self-efficacy beliefs, sources of self-efficacy, development of self- efficacy beliefs are discussed, too. Some specificity of the measurement of self-efficacy and relevant self-efficacy scales are mentioned. Self-efficacy theory is discussed in relation to some other constructs. These constructs include outcome-expectancy and they have some role in human motivation. This paper tries to emphasize the difference between the construct of self-efficacy and other relevant constructs. Finally, some future directions are laid out because the construct of self-efficacy seems very interesting for further investigation.
