Stressors in the work environment lead to strain on employees and limit organizational performance. In addition, self-efficacy has been supported in the past as an additional work variable having a relationship with organizational performance. This study suggested that work stressors may interact with self-efficacy to alter the self-efficacy job performance relationship. The work stressors of role ambiguity and time pressure were both included as potential moderators. An in-basket exercise was manipulated in order to give participants varying levels of work stressors during the exercise, as well as varying levels of self-efficacy. Regression analyses identified a significant effect of self-efficacy on task performance, but found no interaction effects of the two work stressors on the self-efficacy performance relationship. ANOVA found no main effect of role ambiguity or time pressure on in-basket task performance. The findings support past literature on the consistent self-efficacy performance relationship. The lack of significant results for role ambiguity and time pressure as moderators is discussed within the context of the measurement methods used.
