An individual’s view of themselves which is positive in nature. This includes beliefs about self-worth and abilities.
Think of it as your personal brand - it's how you see yourself and what you believe you're capable of. Just like a successful company believes in its products, having a positive self-concept means believing in your own skills and abilities.
Self-Efficacy: Belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task. It's like being confident that your product will sell because you trust its quality.
Self-Image: The mental picture one has of oneself; this image can be influenced by various factors such as societal expectations and personal experiences. It's like the logo or design on your product packaging - it represents how you see yourself.
Intrinsic Motivation: The drive to do something because it is interesting, challenging, and absorbing – for its own sake rather than for external rewards. It’s like creating new products not just for profit but because you love innovating.
