Abstract: The era of entrepreneurship has created numerous opportunities for employment, leading to a notable increase in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Bangalore. The success of these enterprises heavily relies on the performance of their employees. This is where the concept of self - efficacy becomes crucial, as it significantly impacts an individual's motivational, affective, cognitive, and behavioral processes. This study investigates the impact of occupational self - efficacy on employee performance in Bangalore?s MSMEs, where employee performance is crucial for organizational success. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys from 83 MSME employees. The analysis reveals a moderate positive correlation between occupational self - efficacy and job performance, underscoring the importance of self - efficacy as a driver of productivity. Recommendations are offered to support management in fostering employee self - efficacy to boost overall performance and competitiveness within the MSME sector.
