Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating routine jobs that are boring but easy to perform does not contribute to raising subordinates' self-efficacy. In fact, it can have the opposite effect and decrease their motivation and engagement. The other options - guided experiences, mentoring, and role modeling, giving positive feedback, matching goal difficulty to each employee's self-efficacy, and providing self-management training - are all effective ways to raise subordinates' self-efficacy.
