Finding a Between-Person Negative Effect of Self-Efficacy on Performance: Not Just a Within-Person Effect Anymore (2014, background): “Bandura (2012; Bandura & Locke, 2003) argued that the control theory perspective suggested self-efficacy was self-debilitating.”
A multilevel study of leadership, empowerment, and performance in teams. (2007, background): “In addition, there are ample longitudinal and experimental studies supporting the causal influence of self-efficacy (captured by the competence dimension of empowerment) on performance (see Bandura & Locke, 2003).”
