| Sumario: | A study was conducted to examine the relationship of self-efficacy perceptions to task-specific performance in a work setting. Drawing on the basic premise of A. Bandura's social-cognitive theory, it is hypothesized that individuals with greater levels of performance on computer-related tasks would demonstrate higher self-efficacy perceptions and that individuals with lower levels of performance on computer-related tasks would demonstrate lower self-efficacy perceptions. The results confirm both hypotheses and therefore provide additional support for social-cognitive theory as outlined by Bandura. |
