Beliefs about oneself are powerful determinants of performance. The present study was undertaken to identify the factors constituting the belief in one's occupational self efficacy. A standardized scale of occupational self efficacy was administered to a sample of 220 management students. It was then subjected to factor analysis. This analysis revealed six factors: confidence, command, adaptability, personal effectiveness, positive attitude and individuality as important constituents of self efficacy. The results are discussed.
The reactive aspect of pulsed laser induced vaporization has been explored via synthesis of tungsten carbide films from an unreacted sintered mixture of the W -C system. Using low-angle x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it is shown that stoichiometry and the extent of chemical compound formation in the deposited films depend upon the laser fluence. Two cases with energy density 20 J/cm2 and 40 J/cm2 are discussed and compared. An attempt has been made to illustrate the mechanism behind the reactive aspect of the deposition.
