When he/she does his job successfully he/she feels worth-full. On several occasions, it has been suggested that an individual’s self-esteem, formed around work and organizational experiences, plays an important role in determining worker motivation, work-related attitudes, and behaviors. Organizational-based self-esteem (OBSE) is a positive emotion and consciousness that one possesses about workplace situations, it is that state of mind in which an employee believes he or she can satisfy his or her needs by participating in roles within the organization. The researcher initiated this study to study the various opinions of mutual fund employees concerning self-esteem. To get the results for stated objectives the researchers collected the primary information from 105 samples using a self-administered questionnaire through convenience sampling. The questionnaire weighed on two major variables namely, independent variables being age, gender, marital status, number of children, type of family, educational qualification, and experience, and dependent variables, namely, self-motivation, in-role performance, job satisfaction, and organization-related attitudes. The data collected is analyzed after converting them into numbers using percentage analysis and it reported that the majority of the respondents have a satisfied level of self-esteem. To conclude, in the development of self-esteem self-efficacy is a crucial aspect to focus on since the development of a high sense of self-efficacy leads to an increase in one’s self-respect, and generally, their self-esteem is improved..
