Abstract: Self-efficacy has been a concept which has been greatly explored and related to different fields, especially performance. However, various studies showed inconsistencies in the findings and mostly focused on academic performance, not taking into account other various control variables. This research aimed to provide information regarding the effects of selfefficacy in the academic performance of students in an academic setting while controlling for demographic and environmental factors. Particularly, it focused on the De La Salle University’s Modular Program for Accountancy students. Employing a sample of 530 accounting students in De La Salle University, the results of the study found out that general self-efficacy has a significant impact on the academic performance of accounting students enrolled in the modular program. The study also found out that there are other significant variables that affected the academic performance of the students.
