Feedback has long played a central role in learning theory and performance. It provides the process and mechanism on how an actor assesses his/her past effort efficacy and also recognizes areas of needed improvements. Drawing from these arguments, feedback is essential aspect that is needed to track and improve job performance. The proposed inquiry offers a theoretical research model which examines the role of task-related efficacy, the content of feedback and the way a message is conveyed. A proposed research method is offered which explains the research opportunity to prove the proposed theoretical model.
