Abstract: This research examines the relationship between self-efficacy, informal accountability for others (IAFO) and career engagement. Our study enhances organizational research by demonstrating the moderating effect of IAFO on the self-efficacy and career engagement relationship. We test hypotheses using data collected in a convenience sample of 299 working adults. Findings indicate that IAFO moderates the selfefficacy – career engagement relationship such that career engagement decreased when we consider both factors together. The paper concludes with probable managerial and theoretical implications as well as the study’s relevant strengths, limitations and directions for future research.
