health behaviours. This model is very effective as it supports the instilling anticipation, self
efficacy by using the learning by observations and reinforcing the other negative behaviour to
implement the changes within behaviour. The social cognitive theory includes the several
components that are self control, behavioural control, observational learning, self control,
reinforcements, behavioural capabilities. This theory is very efficient to maintain the healthy

developed (Boateng, et al. (2016). This theory helps the Tesco manager to targets the
profits and attracting the customers to maintain their loyalty within the company. Presently,
Tesco can highly focus on maintaining the sales level so that they will gain the competitive
