Self-efficacy refers to a person’s self beliefs in his/her ability to perform specific task and is considered to be a reliable predictor of employees’ personal goal setting. The study conducted on a proportionate sample of 70 employees’ of Bharat Sanchar Nigham Limited (BSNL), Hamirpur (HP) revealed that Job security followed by Integration, Relationship and Confrontation were the prominent factors in their job related self-efficacy. A significant majority of them perceived that they were doing useful and important work in their organization (81 %), by using their training and knowledge very well (79 %), working as per the pre-decided schedule and given direction (68 %). They experienced enough mutual help in the organization (86 %) and helped the sub-ordinates in case any problem was brought to them for its solution. Lack of appropriate resources to do their work effectively, not sanctioning of leave when urgently required, lack of co-operation from superiors, lack of freedom in performing job and lack of opportunities for professional growth etc. were some of the serious problems related with their job efficacy. Hence, the respondents suggested that the work should be assigned as per their skill/talent, their participation in decision making be encouraged, provision for pursuing their area of interest, freedom to take initiative in giving new ideas in the meeting and there should be proper incentives for honest, sincere and hard working employees.
