Self-efficacy reflects the self-belief that one can persistently perform difficult and novel tasks while coping with adversity.

As the policy debate on entrepreneurship increasingly centers on firm growth in terms of job creation, it is important to understand whether the personality of entrepreneurs drives the first hiring in their firms.
