The Influence of Self-Efficacy and Readiness for Change on Achievement Motivation and Performance

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy, readiness for change, and achievement motivation on the performance of employees at the Unit Penyelenggara Bandar Udara (UPBU) in North Kalimantan. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach involving 143 UPBU employees as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS techniques. The results show that self-efficacy has a significant positive effect on achievement motivation and employee performance. Readiness for change also positively influences achievement motivation and employee performance. Additionally, achievement motivation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between self-efficacy and employee performance. These findings support social cognitive theory and achievement motivation theory and offer practical implications for organizational management to develop training programs that enhance employee self-efficacy and readiness for change. The study also highlights the importance of recognition and rewards for high-performing employees to boost their motivation and performance. Limitations include the focus on a single location and the use of a survey method, which may limit the generalization of the findings. Further research is recommended to explore other variables that may moderate the relationships studied and to use more objective performance measurement methods.
