摘要

This study examined the association between employees’ self-efficacy and employee productivity in selected trading companies in Laguna, Philippines. Using a quantitative descriptive–correlational design, purposive sampling was applied to full-time employees with at least one year of tenure, yielding 187 qualified responses. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire measuring five self-efficacy domains (general, occupational, task-specific, entrepreneurial, and work environment/support) and five productivity domains (task completion/efficiency, work quality, adaptability/problem solving, collaboration/communication, and goal achievement/initiative) using a 4-point Likert scale. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for analysis. Results indicated moderate levels of both self-efficacy and productivity, with Significant positive correlations across domains. In regression, the self-efficacy dimensions collectively explained a substantial proportion of productivity variance (R² = 0.738), with Work Environment and Support emerging as the strongest predictor (β = 0.395, p < .001), alongside task-specific, entrepreneurial, and occupational self-efficacy as significant predictors. Findings suggest that productivity in trading firms is more closely linked to role-relevant confidence and perceived workplace support than to generalized self-beliefs, highlighting the value of support-rich environments and targeted capability-building interventions.
