Abstract: Self-efficacy theory has driven research on collective efficacy's role in team performance.As such, empirical findings for the role of collective efficacy in motivation and performance mirror that of early self-efficacy research.This parallel between collective efficacy and self-efficacy research extends to the deficiencies exhibited in early self-efficacy research as well.For example, control theory supplies an alternative description regarding the relationship between self-efficacy and motivation that has gone unexamined at the team level of analysis.The current study used an experimental design to assess the generalizability of the individual-level control theory model to collective efficacy and motivation at the team level.Specifically, the negative self-efficacy-toresource-allocation relationship was found to hold at the group level of analysis.
