This research has delves into how work values and general self-efficacy interact within the Chinese business workforce, focusing on their combined effects on task performance. Aimed at assisting corporations to navigate rapid market changes and management challenges, the study uses cross-industry survey data to pursue four objectives as follows: (1) to systematically assess the direct impact of work values on employee task performance; (2) to investigate the mediating role of general self-efficacy between work values and task performance; (3) to construct and validate a theoretical model of the relationships among work values, general self-efficacy, and task performance; and (4) to propose specific management strategies and suggestions for employee development. This research explores the interaction between work values and general self-efficacy among Chinese enterprise employees, focusing on their combined effects on task performance. Utilizing a combination of online surveys, email questionnaires, and field research across various sectors and job levels within the Chinese business context, the study collected data from 661 participants, resulting in 581 valid responses. The methodology integrates Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
The research results revealed that: (1) there was a significant positive impact of work values on task performance, underscoring the importance of reinforcing work values in organizational management; (2) there was a key mediating role of general self-efficacy between work values and task performance, suggesting enhancing self-efficacy as a vital link for improving performance; (3) there was the construction and validation of a theoretical model that provides new insights into the complex relationships among work values, self-efficacy, and task performance; and (4) there was the suggestion of specific management strategies focusing on both work values and self-efficacy to improve employee performance. This concise integration of methodology and findings highlights the study’s depth and its strategic implications for managing the dynamic Chinese business environment.
