尽管人们发现认知能力和责任心可以预测与工作相关的表现，但人们对某些中介变量是否以及何时有助于解释这些关系知之甚少。本研究通过荟萃分析检验了自我效能感是否介导认知能力-绩效和责任心-绩效关系，以及任务复杂性是否调节了自我效能感介导这些关系的程度。结果表明，认知能力和责任心与自我效能呈正相关，但这些关系的程度随任务复杂性而变化。此外，结果表明，自我效能感可以调节认知能力和责任心与简单任务表现的关系，但不能调节复杂任务的表现。讨论了未来研究的意义和方向。
Although cognitive ability and conscientiousness have been found to predict work-related performance, less is known about whether and when certain mediating variables help explain these relationships. This study examined meta-analytically whether self-efficacy mediates the cognitive ability-performance and conscientiousness-performance relationships, and whether task complexity moderates the extent to which self-efficacy mediates these relationships. Results indicated that cognitive ability and conscientiousness positively relate to self-efficacy, but that the magnitude of these relationships varies with task complexity. Furthermore, results showed that self-efficacy mediates the relationships of cognitive ability and conscientiousness with performance on simple tasks, but not on complex tasks. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
