The objectives of this research include: 1) evaluating the validity and reliability of the self-efficacy scale as a measurement tool, 2) determining the contribution of aspects and indicators of self-efficacy in comprehensively reflecting self-efficacy, and 3) evaluating the suitability of the theoretical model of self-efficacy variables with empirical data. Material and Methods The sample in this study consisted of 373 respondents who were e-sports players in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The respondents consisted of 174 males (46.6%) and 199 females (53.4%). Probability sampling was used as the sampling technique. To collect data, the self-efficacy scale was used, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with second-order CFA through Lisrel version 8.71 software. Results The analysis of this study revealed that e-sports players showed a high level of self-efficacy. The aspects and indicators that formed the self-efficacy variable were found to be valid and reliable based on the analysis results. To evaluate the model fit, main criteria such as Chi-square, RMSEA, RMR, GFI, NFI, CFI, and RFI were used. Conclusions In conclusion, the study aimed to assess the extent of fit between the theoretical model of self-efficacy variables and the empirical data obtained in the field. © Kurniawan F, Hidayatulloh MF, Kristiyanto A, Riyadi S, Ningrum NR, Putra ME, 2025.
