Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enactive mastery involves gaining relevant experience and practicing tasks to increase self-efficacy. Therefore, providing employees with opportunities to gain relevant experience is the best choice. Showing employees how tasks are done (A) may provide some guidance, but it does not necessarily increase self-efficacy. Encouraging interaction between employees (B) and giving employees positive feedback (D) can foster a positive work environment, but they do not directly increase self-efficacy through enactive mastery.
