Self-confidence is considered one of the most influential motivators and regulators of behavior in people's everyday lives (Bandura, 1986). A growing body of evidence suggests that one's perception of ability or self-confidence is the central mediating construct of achievement strivings (e.g., Bandura, 1977; Ericsson et al., 1993; Harter, 1978; Kuhl, 1992; Nicholls, 1984). Ericsson and his colleagues have taken the position that the major influence in the acquisition of expert performance is the confidence and motivation to persist in deliberate practice for a minimum of 10 years.
Self-confidence is not a motivational perspective by itself. It is a judgment about capabilities for accomplishment of some goal, and, therefore, must be considered within a broader conceptualization of motivation that provides the goal context. Kanfer (1990a) provides an example of one cognitively based framework of motivation for such a discussion. She suggests that motivation is composed of two components: goal choice and self-regulation. Self-regulation, in turn, consists of three related sets of activities: self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reactions. Self-monitoring provides information about current performance, which is then evaluated by comparing that performance with one's goal. The comparison between performance and goal results in two distinct types of self-reactions: self-satisfaction or -dissatisfaction and self-confidence expectations. Satisfaction or dissatisfaction is an affective response to past actions; self-confidence expectations are judgments about one's future capabilities to attain one's goal. This framework allows a discussion of self-confidence as it relates to a number of motivational processes, including setting goals and causal attributions.

Answer:
Production Budget April 3970 May 5530 June 5740 units
Explanation:
Tyler Co.
Production Budget
For the months of April, May, and June.
Particulars April, May, June July
Sales 3100 4900 7000 2800(given)
+ Desired Ending Inv. 1470 2100 840
<u>Less Beginning Inv. 600 1470 2100 </u>
<u>Production Budget 3970 5530 5740 </u>
<u />
The Production budget is calculated by adding sales to the desired ending inventory and subtracting the beginning inventory from it. Each month's ending inventory is next month's beginning inventory.
The Ending Inventory is calculated by taking 30% of the next months' sales.
Ending Inventory for April = 4900*30%=1470
Ending Inventory for May = 7000*30%=2100
Ending Inventory for April = 2800*30%=840
