Why is it important?

Though, many empirical evidences exist that establish a direct and significant relationship between managerial competencies and job performance, the relationship may not be direct. Hence, this study expounds the role that a proximal variable like self-efficacy plays in understanding the relationship between managerial competencies and job performance.

Perspectives

The results from this study indicated that 'self-management' competency exerted the maximum influence on job performance followed by 'relationship management' and 'analytical skills'. Self-efficacy was found to partially mediate the relationship between competencies and job performance. Also, the results wielded strong evidence that managerial competencies and self-efficacy together are relatively stronger in predicting job performance than either predictor by itself. Furthermore, the study provides insights into the research and managerial implications of such findings.
