Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating routine jobs that are boring but easy to perform is not a way to raise subordinates' self-efficacy. In fact, it may decrease motivation and engagement. The other options (guided experiences, mentoring, and role modeling; giving positive feedback; matching goal difficulty to each employee's self-efficacy; providing self-management training) can all help to build self-efficacy in subordinates.
