SELF-EFFICACY ROLE ON EMPLOYEES' CAREER GROWTH MEDIATED BY POLITICAL SKILLS

NAEL SARHAN

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of self-efficacy on career growth among Jordanian hotel employees and explores the mediating role of political skills. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 210 participants through an online Google Form survey. The results show a strong positive impact of employees' self-efficacy on specific aspects of career growth. Additionally, the study found that self-efficacy has a positive impact on political skills within the hotel industry. However, contrary to initial hypotheses, the results indicate that while political skills are positively influenced by self-efficacy, they do not mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and career growth.
