“SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON SELF–EFFICACY AND STRESS AMONG THE MBA STUDENTS”

Abstract

Several studies are being conducted on the influence of the self-efficacy in numerous fields. In academic environments, the association link between self-efficacy and students’ achievement is commonly measured. Research has shown that stress has a significant impact on academic performance. There is scant research on the relationship between stress and academic self-efficacy, particularly during the first class of university or college and throughout the time. The study provides a theoretical review of the self-efficacy and stress, as well as a synopsis of recent research on their interactions. The research showed the moderate to considerable no association between the self-efficacy and stress, as well as the mediate influence of stress on the self-efficacy. Additionally, students' stress and self-efficacy levels alter with time. Given the lack of literature on the link among self-efficacy and stress, we recommend more research into its temporal and causal coherence.
