Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that perceived collective efficacy would mediate the effects of self‐efficacy on individual task performance.Design/methodology/approachAn assessment center design with 147 participants in 49 three‐person groups was used.FindingsIt is found that for individuals working on an assigned group goal, perception of the group's collective efficacy, rather than self‐efficacy, has a direct influence on task performance.Research limitations/implicationsFuture researchers should examine the extent to which cognitive intelligence influences collective efficacy effects.Practical implicationsThe research suggests that perceptions of collective efficacy and team support may influence early career developmental task performance.Originality/valueThis paper found that collective efficacy might be more important than individual efficacy in predicting individual task performance in some circumstances.
