In the NASA TLX one component (self estimation of achieved performance) looks similar. Maybe construction of that index give you some advice. But generally any human subjective measure depends on many various factors and the results between humans are difficult to compare. If you find any computable index (for example using error level during task realization) such index can be used for objective scale.
Hi Marc, if you're looking for information on how to develop a self-efficacy scale, you might want to visit the page on Albert Bandura. This page was developed by Frank Pajares. Good luck!
I have found a scales used by Usher and Pajares, 2009 (http://www.academia.edu/963536/Mathematics_motivation_and_self-efficacy_of_middle_school_students) to assess the sources of mathematics SE helpful as a guide in construction my own scale specific to my research. It gives a good starting point and guide to enable you to modify it to suit you.
If you read the article "Effects of management by objectives : studies of Swedish upper secondary schools and the Influence of role stress and self-efficacy on school leaders" in Journal of Applied Social Psychology you will become inspired and get some new knowledge in this area.
How did you go with your research on locating specific Self-Efficacy scales? Would you be able to share what you have come across? I am focussing on teacher self efficacy to deliver career development programs in schools and need to decide whether to adapt someone's instrument or develop a new one.

I had to design a scale to measure sources of self-efficacy in maths problem solving. I found the following papers helpful:
