The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between job
autonomy and work outcomes (job performance, job satisfaction and job
stress), self efficacy as a mediating variable. This research also
investigated the impact of job satisfaction on job performance and job
stress on job performance. Variables in this research were measured via
a survey of 190 banking salespersons in D.I. Yogyakarta and Solo.
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used to examine the effects of
job autonomy on work outcomes, job satisfaction on job performance, and
job stress on job performance. Results showed that the estimated model
in this research is acceptable based on its score of the goodness of fit
index. The structural relationship showed that job autonomy
significantly related to job satisfaction and performance, but not
significant with job stress. It also showed that self efficacy partially
mediated the relationship between job autonomy and job satisfaction,
and job performance. In addition, this research found that self efficacy
not mediated the relationship between job autonomy and job stress.
There was no significant relationship between job autonomy and job
performance but this research showed that job satisfaction significantly
related to job performance. Finally, these results had an important
implication to managers in designing job.
