Albert Bandura defined self-efficacy as "beliefs in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to produce given attainments". In other words, its a kind of situation-specific self confidence. It's believing you can do specific thing.

Self esteem is your opinion of yourself. Having high self-esteem could help you be more confident, thus giving you self-efficacy in a certain task.

No, self-esteem refers to how someone views themselves overall, while self-efficacy relates to a person's belief in their ability to accomplish specific tasks or goals. Self-esteem is more general and stable, whereas self-efficacy is more task-focused and can vary depending on the situation.
