Abstract

Background: Labor is an important asset in achieving organizational goals. The results of the work carried out by the workforce according to their authority and responsibility are influenced by their self-efficacy as part of the workforce's self-concept. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and workforce performance.

Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis, with PICO as follows: Population = workforce, Intervention = high self-efficacy, Comparison = low self-efficacy and Outcome = workforce performance. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases including Google Scholar, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Research Gate. The keywords used are: "Self efficacy" AND "performance" OR "work performance" OR "job performance". Inclusion criteria were full-text articles, cross-sectional study design, multiple linear regression analysis models with standardized coefficient / beta. Articles are collected using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.

Results: Based on the results of a meta-analysis of 8 primary studies on the relationship between self-efficacy and workforce performance from Pakistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Turkey and Nigeria, it can be concluded that self-efficacy is related to workforce performance. Workers with high self-efficacy have the possibility to perform 1.47 times higher than workers with low self-efficacy, and the results are statistically significant (aOR= 1.47; 95% CI = 1.38 to 1.58; p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Self-efficacy is related to workforce performance.
