EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF SELF-AWARENESS ON JOB PERFORMANCE THROUGH SELF-EFFICACY

Abstract

Despite the vast research on variables such as stress, training, and development, no studies have evaluated the relationship between self-knowledge, self-efficacy, and job performance. Therefore, the present study aims to examine the mediating role of social, emotional, and work self-efficacy in the relationship between self-awareness and job performance of Saudi Arabian telecom employees. Two hundred three valid survey responses were collected from a non-probability convenience sample for the cross-sectional study's primary survey data. A SmartPLS 3 SEM analysis demonstrated a favorable association between self-awareness and job performance, mediated by work, social, and emotional efficacy. This research gives useful psychological insights that help managers of telecom firms comprehend the self-awareness and self-efficacy of their staff. This study examines the effect of self-awareness on job performance. It contributes to the body of knowledge by demonstrating that self-awareness and self-efficacy are essential resources for enhancing job performance. '
