ABSTRACT
Leadership is a key component of organizational success in that it tends to maximize shareholder wealth by achieving a company’s stated goals and objectives. Ineffective leadership is not only costly but wastes resources and reduces productivity. This systematic review will investigate whether leaders with self-efficacy attributes are able to lead more effectively, which ultimately results in organizational success. Through the theoretical lens of Transformational Leadership Theory, the findings of the study suggested that leadership attributes associated with self-efficacy, particularly in the context of task-related competencies, or leadership performance, are the best predictors of good leadership. These findings further revealed there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy and leadership effectiveness, transformational leadership attributes are related to self-efficacy, and that self-efficacy was found to impact leadership behavior. The significance of this research demonstrates the incentive of possessing an efficacious leadership team to essentially cultivate self-efficacy within subordinates, to ultimately increase productivity. Implications are also discussed to provide recommendations and courses of actions for managers.
