-Efficacy Measure and Social Cognitive Career TheoryIn the realm of human behavior, self-efficacy holds profound importance, particularly ininnovation and entrepreneurship. Several self-efficacy measures have been developed in theinnovation and entrepreneurship research fields and tailored to the specific tasks that areassessed in this context (e.g., [20]–[24]). Innovation Self-Efficacy (ISE) refers to theindividuals’ confidence in their ability to innovate and engage in specific behaviors thatcharacterize innovative people [23], [25], whereas Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) is thebelief and confidence individuals have in their own capabilities to execute tasks aimed atentrepreneurial outcomes and pursuing new venture opportunities [20], [21

engineering and students’ expected success inengineering were found to decrease over the first year of study for first-year engineeringstudents, especially for women students [19]. Reasons for these feelings could be related toidealistic expectations of college or engineering in general, more difficult assignments thanexperienced in high school, or comparing to peers in a high-achieving peer group. In addition,students’ self-efficacy decreased over the first year of study, particularly for women students.However, both men and women experienced similar decreases in their value-related beliefs ofengineering [19].Importantly, researchers suggest that the potential impacts of the decrease in these expectanciesand value-related constructs on students
