Abstract

T

To understand the relationship between self-efficacy and the commitment of academicians, research is gaining momentum among researchers across the globe to investigate various aspects of positive psychology, which studies human positive behavioral attributes for example, hope, optimism, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Similarly, organizational commitment represents significant organizational behavior, which discusses the bond between employees and with organization by explaining the stabilities including beliefs and attitudes as well as the behavior that encompasses the behavioral adoptions and indicates a refusal of reasonable alternate options of achievement. Thus, studying the relationships between self-efficacy of the academicians with organizational commitment is an instrumental area of study that demands more study in the background of developing countries. The study will provide insight for academicians, researchers, and practitioners to understand the issue comprehensively and resolve it in the best trajectory to enhance their commitment which will lead to enhanced performance.  The shortcoming of the study was not resolved due to time and financial constraints, hence it was conducted will a small sample size, future researchers could get a better view if a study with a large sample size is conducted.
