Shehu Inuwa Galoji

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between leadership self-efficacy and strategic leadership behavior. The self-efficacy theory was choosing to serve as the underpinning theory of this study. The research design of this study was quantitative in nature as this study considers the use of face to face method of data collection with the use of study questionnaire. A total number of one thousand questionnaires were administered on a sample of some bank branch managers of commercial banks. At the end, 457 questionnaires were considered for the analysis. Several methods of data analysis were considered in the analysis of the data. The result of this study shows that none of the dimensions of leadership self- efficacy was found to be significantly related to strategic leadership behavior. This study has contributed to the self-efficacy theory, literature and method.
