Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between task and outcome interdependence and self-efficacy on employees work motivation in Malaysia, by looking at one of the state's retail industries as a case in point. The study focused on two forms of interdependence, namely task interdependence (works execution) and outcome interdependence (compatibility of co-workers' performance), while work motivation looked at employees' cooperation and collective effort. The retail industry was chosen because of its importance to the Malaysian economy and the fact that interdependence job setting is common among supermarkets and department stores. The results show a significant and positive support regarding the relationship between outcome interdependence and self-efficacy towards employees work motivation. Interdependence and self-efficacy components possess motivational potential towards employees work behaviour, such as the effort and cooperation level that they choose to contribute to their company. Furthermore, initiated task interdependence is found to have a significant relationship with employees' cooperative manner.
