Relationship between self-efficacy and engagement in the employees of an agrochemical company in Lima

Abstract

Self-efficacy and commitment are essential elements for employee performance within an organization. Self-efficacy refers to an employee's confidence in their ability to perform their duties efficiently, while commitment indicates their level of dedication and enthusiasm for their work. When employees have high self-efficacy, they tend to be more engaged, which benefits their performance and well-being, creating a more productive and favorable work environment. The goal of this research is to establish the connection between self-efficacy and the level of employee commitment of an agrochemical company in Lima, Peru, during 2024. The approach used was quantitative, applied, and descriptive, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design, considering 37 employees. The findings of this research showed that employees, when they feel greater satisfaction with their tasks, the work environment, personal and/or social self-evaluation, and financial rewards, will increase their effort at work, allowing them to achieve organizational goals and results.
