-

by: Liza N. Cruspero and Riza O. Rulida

Self-esteem is the regard or respect that a person has for oneself. A person with positive feelings regarding the self is said to have high self-esteem. However, self-esteem can refer to very specific areas as well as a general feeling about the self.

Self-confidence is considered one of the most influential motivators and regulators of behavior in people's everyday lives (Bandura, 1986). A growing body of evidence suggests that one's perception of ability or self-confidence is the central mediating construct of achievement strivings

The self-concept is a factual description of how you perceive yourself. If your perception is distorted, this description may not be an accurate depiction of you, but it IS an accurate statement of what you believe about yourself. Self-concept is one of the gauges for self-confidence.

The self-concept is derived from self-esteem and self-efficacy. If a person has low self-esteem, the self-concept may be skewed in the direction of a negative description.

Self-efficacy is a person's belief in their ability to accomplish some specific goal or task. It generally corresponds to the level of competence an individual feels. Competence can vary from one situation to another.

Positive foundation of self-esteem, self-confidence and self-efficacy is vital to one’s individual to function productively.

Many arguments and conflicts have been started by individuals who are unwilling to listen to the other person. When someone approaches you about a problem or issue, do not be quick to interrupt. Stop and listen to what that person is saying first before responding.     Another is you need to ask questions, avoid gossips, being honest, be a team player and take interest in others.      Remember, it is important too that we need to consider others before us.

It is where our dreams and inspirations in life rely on. We tend to do our part in order to fulfill our goals in life.                       Job attitudes and results differ among individuals based on personal needs and desires. In addition, through their work, such as social needs and status recognition, more and more people yearn to perform well just to achieve something.
