Occupational self-efficacy is a person's belief that he can perform behaviors relevant to his job. This study is an integrative review that aimed to investigate the concept of occupational self-efficacy in order to learn about important characteristics on the subject and to broaden the understanding of the concept. The adopted method followed six stages: 1) identification of the theme and selection of the research question; 2) establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria; 3) identification of pre-selected and selected studies; 4) categorization of selected studies; 5) analysis and interpretation of results; and 6) presentation of the knowledge review/synthesis. The databases consulted were Web of Science, Lilacs, PubMed, Scielo, Scopus, PsyclNFO and Pepsic, considering the entire publication period. The results presented show correlations between occupational self-efficacy and several psychosocial indicators at work, such as motivation, engagement, satisfaction, health and well-being. Instruments for measuring this construct can be used to support interventions in the field of Psychology and in the context of work. Organizations can promote the development of self-efficacy beliefs among workers in order to prepare them for their activities, contributing to the development of people and the organization itself, such interventions may be conducted by professionals in the field of psychology.
