Factors affecting University lecturers' self-efficacy, and performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2020, pandemic conditions forced billions of individuals worldwide to engage in remote labor with little or no prior experience, for firms and organizations, including universities, that are almost certainly unprepared for this transition. The final question thus becomes the quality of remote work: whether employees can adjust or not, and what criteria influence this. Previously, a model of remote working self-efficacy was established to account for such situations. However, the development was intended to evaluate virtual businesses that utilize reliable ICT and provide adequate training for their personnel. The purpose of this research is to contextualize self-efficacy theory and its antecedent in the context of unpreparedness. The research surveyed 47 academics in Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta Special Region, and East Java in June 2021, when rising virus transmission compelled colleges to close their doors. The study demonstrates different results compared to some previous studies While self-efficacy can mediate the influence on remote work performance, the antecedents of experience and training, social persuasion, physiological and emotional states have stronger direct effect on the performance.
