To analyze the data, Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) was used with the help of SmartPLS software. The findings of this study indicate that: (1) self-efficacy has a positive and significant influence on employee performance (β = 0.376, p = 0.000), (2) locus of control has a positive and significant influence on employee performance (β = 0.412, p = 0.000), (3) organizational culture positively and significantly moderates the relationship between self-efficacy and employee performance (β = 0.254, p = 0.031), (4) organizational culture positively and significantly moderates the relationship between locus of control and employee performance (β = 0.104, p = 0.000). This study also confirms Goal Setting Theory as a theoretical foundation, showing that setting clear and specific goals can increase employee motivation and performance.
