When people have high self-efficacy, they are more likely to engage in activities because they believe they can succeed in them. Belief in yourself can result in increased motivation and persistence and therefore engagement.

When people have a sense of agency, they feel empowered to and pursue their goals. This sense of autonomy and control can drive engagement because there is a greater sense of ownership over their actions.

When individuals have high self-efficacy and agency, they are more likely to feel engaged because they believe in their abilities to succeed and have the autonomy to pursue their interests actively.

Research suggests that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy and agency they are more willing to tackle challenges, persist in the face of obstacles, and take initiative to pursue their goals.
