The Influence of Self-Efficacy on Job Performance of Employees in the Online Retail Sector in Malaysia – The Mediating Effect of Innovative Behaviour

“…The employees will undoubtedly accept defeat in demoralizing situations at the workplace, diminishing their job performance. More recent researches have indicated that employees with greater self-efficacy attain more incredible job performance than employees with lesser self-efficacy (Abun et al, 2021;Judge & Bono, 2001;Judge et al, 2007;Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998;Tims et al, 2014). Contrarily, elucidate that employees' creativity and not self-efficacy shape employees' job performance.…”

“…Employees' self-efficacy can be associated with their job performance based on research conducted by (Abun et al, 2021). Several researchers have related self-efficacy to various other factors which lead to job performance.…”

“…Likewise, self-efficacy can impact the tasks chosen by an employee, the amount of effort put into completing tasks by an employee, and an employee's determination to overcome problems. All this, in turn, will lead to better employee behaviour and performance, according to (Abun et al, 2021;Bandura, 1977).…”

“…Additionally, self-efficacy provides confidence to employees to accept more challenging jobs, which increases their job performance (Wood & Bandura, 1989). According to (Abun et al, 2021;Bandura, 1999), self-efficacy lets employees exert tremendous effort and try to overcome hurdles. This is because self-efficacy drives employees to reach anticipated outcomes through their actions (Bandura, 1999).…”

“…Conversely, (Bandura, 1986;Bandura, 1999) elucidate that employee who deems self-efficacy as insignificant will doubt their abilities and not succeed in accomplishing their jobs, or try to avoid undertaking challenging tasks, or they would instead choose mediocre resolutions which decrease their job performance. Besides, (Abun et al, 2021;Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998) remark that employees with lower self-efficacy will quickly give up when faced with challenging tasks. The employees will undoubtedly accept defeat in demoralizing situations at the workplace, diminishing their job performance.…”
