Understanding How Self-Efficacy and Readiness to Change Impact Employee Performance: The Role of Achievement Motivation

\nThis study explores the relationship between self-efficacy, readiness for change, achievement motivation, and performance among healthcare workers. The introduction highlights the significance of these factors in the context of rapid technological advancements and organizational transformations. Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 65 healthcare workers at a community health center in Wonosobo, Indonesia. The results indicate that self-efficacy positively influences achievement motivation, while readiness for change also has a positive impact on achievement motivation. Achievement motivation, in turn, significantly affects performance. Furthermore, motivation fully mediates the influence of self-efficacy and readiness for change on performance. These findings underscore the importance of fostering achievement motivation among healthcare workers to improve performance. Recommendations include prioritizing strategies to enhance achievement motivation, complemented by efforts to strengthen self-efficacy and readiness for change. While the study contributes to understanding healthcare workers’ performance factors, its generalizability may be limited, and methodological limitations should be considered. Nonetheless, the findings offer valuable insights for enhancing organizational performance and human resource management practices in healthcare settings.\n
