Public Administration ReviewSummary: The current work explores three potential facilitators of judicial performance. Participants in a state-wide survey of judicial officers (response rate = 33.9 percent) completed self-report measures of self-efficacy, prosocial impact, and self-legitimacy as well as subjectively perceived performance. Objective performance data collected by the state court administrative office were then merged with the survey data. Latent variable analysis confirmed the three predictor constructs' separability, and although all four concepts were correlated, self-efficacy was the sole independent predictor of subjective performance. This study explores psychological facilitators of judicial officer performance, focusing on self-efficacy, prosocial impact, and self-legitimacy. Based on a state-wide survey of judicial officers (response rate 33.9 percent) combined with objective performance data from the state court administrative office, latent variable analysis confirmed the distinctiveness of the three constructs. Results show that self-efficacy is the sole independent predictor of subjective performance and the only significant correlate of objective performance. Mediation analysis further suggests that prosocial impact and self-legitimacy indirectly influence performance through self-efficacy. The findings highlight the central role of self-efficacy in judicial performance, while also demonstrating how prosocial impact and self-legitimacy facilitate its development, offering insights into psychological dimensions of judicial effectiveness. An unplanned mediation analysis suggested significant indirect effects of self-legitimacy and prosocial impact on subjectively assessed performance through self-efficacy. Regarding objective performance, self-efficacy emerged as the only significant correlate or predictor. The research therefore empirically demonstrates the empirical distinctiveness of self-efficacy, prosocial impact, and self-legitimacy and provides some exploratory support for a causal model whereby self-efficacy provides the proximal impact on performance but is itself facilitated by prosocial impact and self-legitimacy.- Reproduced
