Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the influence of coping strategies on stereotype threat and occupational self-efficacy among Indonesian women workers under the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT). Data were collected from 400 women employees via the Populix platform, and hypotheses were tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that coping with barriers significantly reduces stigma consciousness, while both stereotype vulnerability and stigma consciousness negatively impact occupational self-efficacy. This study extends the SCCT literature by clarifying the mechanisms through which coping strategies mitigate stereotype threat and enhance women workers’ self-efficacy.
