A study on employee self-efficacy, work anxiety and work stress

Employee self-efficacy, work anxiety, and work stress are critical factors influencing workplace productivity and employee well-being. This study explores the interrelationship between these variables, examining how self-efficacy—a belief in one’s ability to perform tasks effectively—affects levels of work anxiety and stress. A higher degree of self-efficacy is often linked to reduced anxiety and stress, whereas lower self-efficacy may contribute to heightened workplace distress. The study employs a quantitative research approach, gathering data from employees across various industries to analyze these relationships. Findings indicate that employees with strong self-efficacy experience lower work anxiety and stress, leading to better job performance and job satisfaction. The study highlights the need for organizations to foster self-efficacy through training, support systems, and stress management programs to enhance overall workplace well-being.
