Self-fulfilling prophecy may result in either better or worse performance than if the employee is not exposed to the self-fulfilling prophecy effect.

The self-fulfilling prophecy effect can result in better or worse performance outcomes depending on whether the prophecy is positive or negative. If the employee is exposed to a positive self-fulfilling prophecy, they may feel more confident and motivated, leading to better performance. Conversely, if the prophecy is negative, it may lead to decreased confidence and motivation, resulting in poorer performance.
