Abstract: Taking self-efficacy beliefs as a proxy for work performance, this study aims to explore the impact of intra-cultural diversity on self-efficacy beliefs of Indian employees. Based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions, along with religiosity and religious affiliation, we developed and tested six hypotheses against a dataset of 162 Indian employees. Multivariate regression analysis reveals a significant impact of religious affiliation, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance on self-efficacy beliefs, contradicting previous findings for India in this context. Our study contributes to the cross-cultural research in general and to the emerging literature on intra-cultural diversity in particular.
