  In several areas of knowledge, self-efficacy is related to the perfomance of
individuals, including in Software Engineering. However,it is not clear how
self-efficacy can be modified in training conducted by the industry.
Furthermore, we still do not understand how self-efficacy can impact an
individual's team and career in the industry. This lack of understanding can
negatively impact how companies and individuals perceive the importance of
self-efficacy in the field. Therefore, We present a research proposal that aims
to understand the relationship between self-efficacy and training in Software
Engineering. Moreover, we look to understand the role of self-efficacy at
Software Development industry. We propose a longitudinal case study with
software engineers at Zup Innovation that participating of our bootcamp
training. We expect to collect data to support our assumptions that
self-efficacy can be related to training in Software Engineering. The other
assumption is that self-efficacy at the beginning of training is higher than
the middle, and that self-efficacy at the end of training is higher than the
middle. We expect that the study proposed in this article will motivate a
discussion about self-efficacy and the importance of training employers in the
industry of software development.
