Self-efficacy has been thought to be a task-specific version of self-esteem.

These meetings with employees can create a two-way street in which employees can voice any concerns or expectations they may have while the manager can communicate organizational goals and areas for potential improvement. This sort of communication is made possible by the manager’s comprehension of the employee’s personality and their emotional nature (Sangeeta, 2014).
