SELF-EFFICACY AND LEADERSHIP CAPABILITIES OF SECOND- CLASS MARINE ENGINEERING STUDENTS OF MSEUF

Self-efficacy and leadership capabilities are among the skills that are crucial in the maritime industry and other chosen careers. Effective leadership involves a strong sense of selfefficacy because it allows a person to have the courage to take risks, make choices, and inspire others. High self-efficacy people are typically more capable of handling the stresses and challenges that come with leadership, such as dealing with tough team members or having to make difficult decisions. Thus, self-efficacy and leadership abilities are crucial. Individuals with high self-efficacy and high leadership capabilities are skilled at inspiring and motivating viewers, overcoming difficulties and failures, and achieving goals. For students to reach their full potential as future leaders and professionals, they have various degrees of development needs depending on their performance levels. The objective of this study is to determine the level of self-efficacy and leadership capabilities of the students in room engine teamwork. Furthermore, it also aimed to contrast the self-efficacy and leadership capabilities of the Marine Engineering students in engine room teamwork. Using a survey-questionnaire method, the whole population of marine engineering students were randomly selected from the locale. The questionnaire was administered online to gather data for the study. Frequency, percentage, and weighted mean were used as statistical treatment. This study concludes that the marine engineering students of MSEUF have an average level of self-efficacy and a high level of leadership capabilities. It also reveals that there is no significant relationship between self-efficacy and leadership capabilities among marine engineering students.
