Self-Efficacy, self-esteem and performance of Administrative Officer II in the Division of Aklan

Aim: This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy, self-esteem, and job performance of Administrative Officer II (AO II) in the Division of Aklan. Methodology:The study employed a quantitative correlational research design using a non-experimental approach.Total population sampling was utilized, involving all 50 Administrative Officers II in the Division of Aklan.Data were collected using standardized instruments, namely the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF) ratings.Descriptive statistics, Pearson's r, and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data.Results: Findings revealed that Administrative Officers II demonstrated moderate levels of self-esteem and high levels of self-efficacy, while their IPCRF performance ratings were consistently outstanding.Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between self-esteem and demographic variables, nor between self-efficacy and demographic variables.Moreover, no significant relationship was found between self-esteem or self-efficacy and the IPCRF performance ratings of Administrative Officers II. Conclusion:The study concluded that although Administrative Officers II in the Division of Aklan possess positive psychological attributes and demonstrate high performance ratings, self-esteem and self-efficacy do not significantly influence their job performance or demographic characteristics.These findings suggest that the performance of Administrative Officers II is more closely associated with the nature of their administrative roles and performance evaluation system rather than with variations in self-esteem or self-efficacy.
