Employees with high self-efficacy believe all of the following except:

A) they have the ability needed
B) they are capable of the effort required
C) they will succeed based on luck
D) no outside events will keep them from performing at a high level

Employees with high self-efficacy believe in their own abilities and effort, and they do not attribute their successes or failures to luck. Therefore, option C is the exception as employees with high self-efficacy do not believe they will succeed based on luck but rather on their own efforts and abilities.
