Abstract

Achieving organizational success depends significantly on understanding the factors that drive employee performance. One such critical factor is role-efficacy, which shapes how employees perceive their own capabilities in fulfilling their responsibilities. This review paper examines the relationship between role-efficacy and employee performance by reviewing prior research in management discipline. Findings suggest that employees with a strong sense of role-efficacy are more confident in their abilities, leading to improved job performance. Psychological aspects such as self-belief and confidence, along with behavioral factors like workplace discipline, play a key role in enhancing productivity. While confidence allows employees to recognize and maximize their potential, a structured and disciplined work environment helps channel their abilities toward meaningful outcomes. Organizations aiming for sustained high performance should invest in comprehensive training and development initiatives that not only build role-efficacy but also reinforce the importance of discipline in professional growth.
