Future self-leadership research should also strive to investigate empirically the relationships between self-leadership and the predictable outcome variables discussed above. In particular, researchers should expand on the work of Prussia et al(1998) to delineate more clearly the role of self-efficacy as a primary mechanism through which self-leadership strategies influence various performance outcomes. To the extent that the role of self-leadership strategies can be differentiated from the mechanisms through which they operate, self-leadership's distinctive yet harmonious identity within its various theoretical frameworks may be better understood. Finally, future self-leadership research should also continue to investigate specific relationships between personality and self leadership. In particular, future researchers should investigate the relationships between self leadership and other personality characteristics of interest such as general self-efficacy, self-esteem, locus of control, and self-monitoring.
