The study was conducted through a field research, descriptive, addressed quantitatively using statistical procedures. Was studied a population composed of 394 students distributed in three Higher Education Institutions, in the metropolitan region of Bel?m, in the State of Par?. The sampling was not probabilistic by accessibility, with a sample of 254 subjects. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire composed of a set of questions divided into three sections: the first related to sociodemographic data, the second section was built to identify the work situation of the respondent and the third section was built with issues related to General Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale proposed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1999). Sociodemographic data were processed using methods of descriptive statistics. This procedure allowed characterizing the subjects of the sample. To identify the work situation, the analysis of frequency and percentage was used, which allowed to classify in percentage, the respondents who worked and those that did not work, and the data related to the scale of self-efficacy were processed quantitatively by the method of multivariate statistics using the software of program Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows - SPSS, version 17 from the process of Exploratory Factor Analysis. This procedure allowed characterizing the students who worked and the students who did not worked. The results were discussed based on Social Cognitive Theory from the construct of self-efficacy of Albert Bandura (1977). The study results showed a young sample, composed the majority of single women with work experience, and indicated that the characteristics of self-efficacy of students who work and students who do not work are different. The self-efficacy beliefs of students who do not work are based on psychological expectations, whereas the students who work demonstrated that their efficacy beliefs are sustained by previous experiences. A student who does not work proved to be reliant in their abilities to achieve a successful performance in their activities, believing it to be easy to achieve your goals and to face difficult situations at work, simply by invest a necessary effort and trust in their abilities. One who has experience working proved to be reliant in their abilities to conduct courses of action, although know that it is not easy to achieve your goals, and in unexpected situations showed its ability to solve difficult problems / O presente estudo apresenta as caracter?sticas de autoefic?cia de alunos do curso de Administra??o que trabalham e que n?o trabalham. O estudo foi realizado atrav?s de uma pesquisa de campo, descritiva, abordada quantitativamente com utiliza??o de procedimentos estat?sticos. Foi estudada uma popula??o composta por 394 alunos distribu?dos em tr?s Institui??es de Ensino Superior na regi?o metropolitana de Bel?m no Estado do Par?. A amostragem foi n?o-probabil?stica por acessibilidade com uma amostra de 254 sujeitos. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um question?rio composto por um conjunto de quest?es divididas em tr?s se??es: a primeira, relacionada aos dados s?ciodemogr?ficos, a segunda identifica a situa??o de trabalho do respondente e a terceira se??o foi elaborada com quest?es relacionadas ? Escala de Autoefic?cia Geral Percebida, proposta por Schwarzer e Jerusal?m (1999). Os dados sociodemogr?ficos foram tratados com a utiliza??o de m?todos de estat?stica descritiva. Este procedimento permitiu caracterizar os sujeitos da amostra. Para identificar a situa??o de trabalho utilizou-se a an?lise de frequ?ncia e porcentagem o que permitiu classificar em percentual os respondentes que trabalhavam e os que n?o trabalhavam; os dados relacionados ? escala de autoefic?cia foram tratados quantitativamente pelo m?todo de estat?stica multivariada a partir da utiliza??o do software de programa estat?stico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows SPSS, vers?o 17 a partir do processo da An?lise Fatorial Explorat?ria. Este procedimento permitiu caracterizar os alunos que trabalhavam e os alunos que n?o trabalhavam. Os resultados foram discutidos ? luz da Teoria Social Cognitiva a partir do constructo de autoefic?cia de Albert Bandura (1977). Os resultados do estudo apontaram uma amostra jovem, composta por maioria de mulheres solteiras com experi?ncia de trabalho e indicaram que as caracter?sticas de autoefic?cia de alunos que trabalham e alunos que n?o trabalham s?o distintas. As cren?as de autoefic?cia dos alunos que n?o trabalham est?o baseadas em expectativas psicol?gicas enquanto que os alunos que trabalham demonstraram que suas cren?as de efic?cia est?o sustentadas em experi?ncias anteriores. O aluno que n?o trabalha demonstrou-se bastante confiante em suas capacidades para alcan?ar desempenhos de sucesso em suas atividades, acreditando ser f?cil alcan?ar seus objetivos e enfrentar situa??es dif?ceis no trabalho, bastando investir esfor?o necess?rio e confiar nas suas habilidades. Aquele que tem experi?ncia de trabalho mostrou-se confiante em suas capacidades para realizar cursos de a??o, embora saiba que n?o ? f?cil alcan?ar seus objetivos e em situa??es inesperadas demonstrou ter desenvoltura para resolver os problemas dif?ceis
