Explanation:

Self-efficacy: In psychology, the term self-efficacy is proposed by one of the famous psychologist named Albert Bandura. He has defined self-efficacy as an individual's capability of succeeding in a particular situation or condition to fulfill a task. An individual's belief about his or her self-efficacy plays a vital role in the way he or she will approach specific tasks, challenges, and goals. The self-efficacy of a person defines his capabilities and confidence and controls the person's behavior, motivation, and social gathering or environment.
