Abstract
This study investigated the role of self-efficacy and sex on work centrality among workers. The participants comprised of 348 workers (133 male and 215 female) with the mean age of 32.85, standard deviation of 7.62 and age range of 20 to 60 years. The study made use of two questionnaires; work ethic scale and self-efficacy scale . The study adopted a 2x2 factorial design and hence 2way ANOVA was used. Two Hypotheses were tested in this study. The first which state that workers who are high on self-efficacy will be significantly different from workers who are low on self-efficacy on their work centrality was accepted at F(1,344)=7.29;at P<.05 level of significance. Thus workers who are high on self-efficacy were seen to have high work centrality than those who are low on self-efficacy. Also, the second hypothesis which state that workers who are male will be significantly different from workers who are female on work centrality was rejected at F(1,344)=.433 at P>.05. Hence findings were discussed and recommendations were made.
