RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENGAGEMENT AND SELF-EFFICACY BELIEFS IN WORKERS

Nowadays, if you want to have a high labor productivity, it is necessary to create a high level of organizational commitment (workEngagement) of employees with the company. You need to study the psychological variables which favor the "workEngagement". According to Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, the efficacy belief predicts family satisfaction and health behaviors (Bandura, 2004). In this study we analyze the self-efficacy and its relationship to organizational Engagement, to discover if really this variable may be a mediator in the Engagement. To do this, we was measured in 105 workers from different areas, the level of self-efficacy by General Self Efficacy Scale and level of workengagement using Workengagement Utrecht Scale. We expected to have higher levels of self-efficacy to higher levels of engagement. At the same time, measure the engagement of these workers taking into account variables such as gender, workplace and educational level.
