The results showed that job training had a positive and significant effect on employee performance and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy was also proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, self-efficacy was able to mediate the effect of job training on employee performance. These findings indicate that improving the quality of job training can strengthen employee self-confidence and improve their performance.
