What is Self-leadership?
Self-Leadership is defined by the process of influencing oneself. A comprehensive process involving cognitive (thoughts) and behavioral (actions) factors. This definition is derived primarily from research and theory in two (2) areas of psychology: Social Cognitive Theory and Intrinsic Motivation Theory (Self-Determination Theory).
In the first half of the paper compare and contrast Social Cognitive Theory and Intrinsic Motivation Theory. For the second half discuss self-efficacy, a construct from Social Cognitive Theory and Intrinsic Motivation Theory. What are your personal sources of self-efficacy? Think about J.K. Rowling’s and her journey while reviewing your own.
