Abstract

Relevance: This review presents an analysis of the literature on the factors influencing the self-efficacy of healthcare managers. In modern medical practice and healthcare management, managers must address complex tasks related to the organization of healthcare institutions, efficient resource allocation, and providing high-quality patient care. The psychological phenomenon known as self-efficacy is an essential factor in accomplishing these tasks.

Although many managers can set goals and strive to achieve them, many face difficulties. Therefore, studying the factors affecting the self-efficacy of healthcare managers is critical for improving management in the healthcare system and enhancing its efficiency.
