It is the integration of the two (the person and the role) that ensures the person's effectiveness in the org. If the role does not allow him to use his competence, and if he constantly feels frustrated in the role, his effectiveness is likely to be below. Effectiveness of an individual in Organization, therefore, may depend on his own potential effectiveness, the potential effectiveness of the role and the organizational climate. The potential effectiveness is known as efficacy. Personal efficacy would mean potential effectiveness of an individual occupying a particular role in an organization.
