<p style="text-align:justify;">The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of&nbsp;self-efficacy in decision making between the relationship of workload, work&nbsp;control and decision-making styles. Although the decision-making process seems&nbsp;basically the same for every individual, it is different for each individual in&nbsp;terms of content. The reason for this is the methods used by individuals in&nbsp;making decisions and their approach to problems are different. The data was&nbsp;gathered from 252 government officials, chiefs, branch managers and heads of&nbsp;the departments of the Republic of Turkey. The data was analysed with&nbsp;structural equation model. The results indicate that there was a negative&nbsp;relationship between the level of workload and vigilant decision-making style,&nbsp;and a positive relationship with buck-passing, procrastination, and&nbsp;hypervigilance decision making styles. On the other hand, a positive&nbsp;relationship between work control and vigilance decision-making style, and a&nbsp;negative relationship between buck-passing, procrastination and hypervigilance&nbsp;decision-making styles were observed. At the same time, there was a negative&nbsp;relationship between workload and self-efficacy in decision-making, yet a&nbsp;positive relationship was found with work control. In addition, a full&nbsp;mediating role in the relationship between workload in decision-making&nbsp;self-efficacy, work control, vigilant, buck-passing, and procrastination&nbsp;decision-making styles; a partial mediating role was found in the relationship&nbsp;between workload and hyper vigilant decision-making style in work control were&nbsp;found separately. The results were interpreted with the light of literature and&nbsp;lead to develop practical suggestions for managers and employees.</p>
