Self-leadership and performance outcomes: the mediating influence of self-efficacy

Article Abstract:

A structural model was used to determine the relationship of self-leadership skills and self-efficacy perceptions on performance. Results show that self-efficacy directly influenced job performance while self-leadership strategies also influenced self-efficacy evaluations. Moreover, self-efficacy perceptions can fully moderate the influence of self-leadership on performance. Furthermore, it is also found that external leader behaviors influenced self-efficacy, which then affected the quality of performance.
