Abstract:
This study analyzes the effects of anxiety and avoidance attachment styles on job performance and the mediating role of general self-efficacy. The study population is composed of top- and mid-level hotel managers in Turkey. While the anxiety attachment style is found to have a negative effect on job performance, the avoidance attachment style is not found to have any significant effect on job performance. Anxiety/ avoidance attachments are determined to have a negative effect on general self-efficacy. In addition, it reveals that anxiety/avoidance attachment styles have an indirect effect on job performance through self-efficacy.
