RELATIONSHIP OF EMPLOYEE SELF-EFFICACY AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN MEDIUM PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Abstract
Self-efficacy influence how long employees will persist when engaging with challenging tasks. It is important to note that employees with high self-efficacy will continue longer in the face of complex tasks because they are more confident that they will learn and successfully execute the task. High self-efficacy will lead to the employee's outstanding performance and successfully contribute to the organization as a whole. The main concern for conducting this study is determining if there is an important relationship between employee self-efficacy and performance in medium private higher education institutions in the Philippines. A literature review on the topic was anchored to the chosen study on self-efficacy and performance. The investigation hypothesizes a significant relationship between employee self-efficacy, employee performance, and personal demographics moderates the significant relationship between employee self-efficacy and performance. The study used the descriptive- correlational research design, and to gather and collect the data, instruments were used. The population comprises 333 employees, and a sample of 182 individuals was taken for the study and was selected using stratified random sampling. Results of the study confirmed that self- efficacy has a significant relationship with employee performance, meaning that the success of self-efficacy can effectively improve the performance of employees. The results of this study shed light on the relationship between employee self-efficacy and performance, but several practical implications of the results that help enhance self-efficacy through training, ultimately resulting in higher performance of employees.
