Influence Self Efficacy and Locus of Control on Performance at Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (BMT) Riau Province

Abstract

This research is a study that describes and analyzes the relationship between the first influencing variable (X1) self-efficacy and the second influencing variable (X2) locus of control on the outcome variable (Y) performance. The research was conducted at Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) in Riau Province, with the staff serving as the primary source of data. A quantitative approach was applied as the research methodology. Both self-efficacy and locus of control are considered to significantly influence the performance of staff, as supported by previous studies. However, earlier research has not adequately considered the Islamic perspective or the religious role of staff as a factor that may affect these influencing variables. Therefore, this study explores the relationship between the variables from an Islamic viewpoint, specifically in the context of improving the performance of staff at BMT Riau Province. The findings of this study reveal a significant relationship between the influencing variables X1 and X2 and the outcome variable (Y), which will be further detailed and discussed throughout the study.
