Efficacy personality is a key factor in predicting and fostering academic self-efficacy in the university context. This study aimed to analyze the incidence of effective personality on academic self-efficacy in university students. The sample consisted of 132 students from the Professional School of Education and Humanities of a private university. The reliability of the instruments was high, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.892 for the effective personality variable and 0.901 for academic self-efficacy. The results indicate that the efficacious personality significantly influences academic self-efficacy, with the dimension “responsiveness” being a significant predictor of self-efficacy. This personal style is characterized by active, calm, assertive, independent and confident decision-making, which favors the achievement of academic self-efficacy.
