Determinants and Structural Relation of Personal Efficacy to Collective Efficacy

Abstract

Dans cette recherche, on éprouve un modèle structurel concernant l'impact du statut socioéconomique sur l'efficacité individuelle perçue et le rapport qu'elle entretient avec la perception de l'efficacité collective. Dans les travaux sociodémographiques, les jeunes, par comparaison aux plus âgés, s'estiment moins efficaces dans la gestion de leur vie professionnelle, de leurs relations intimes et de leur situation financière, mais plus aptes à promouvoir le changement social. Les hommes ont plus que les femmes le sentiment de pouvoir contribuer à la solution des problèmes sociaux. En accord avec le modèle structurel énoncé, le statut socioéconomique contribue à la fois à la perception de l'efficacité personnelle dans la gestion des événements de sa propre vie et dans la participation à l'amélioration de la société. Ces deux aspects de l'efficacité individuelle perçue contribuent à leur tour fortement à la conviction qu'une action collective peut effectivement induire le changement social. Un autre modèle où l'efficacité collective perçue devient la cause première de l'efficacité individuelle perçue se révéla moins proche des données recueillies.This study tested a structural model regarding the impact of socioeconomic status on people's perceived individual efficacy and its link to their perceived

However, this study confirmed that the perceived collective efficacy had a positive impact on group effectiveness and performance and that collective efficacy played a mediating role between bridging social capital and value cocreation.…”

“…Self-efficacy is considered the basis of human agency (Fernandez-Ballesteros, Diez-Nicolas, Caprara, Barbaranelli & Bandura, 2002). While self-efficacy represents a person's belief in his or her ability to perform a task and influence events, a lot of research has been conducted about how individuals feel, think, motivate themselves, and act; self-efficacy also facilitates goal setting, investment, and persistence (Ahmad & Safaria, 2013;Armitage, Conner, Loach & Willetts, 1999;Bandura, 1993Bandura, , 1994Hackett & Betz, 1981;Scholz, Gutierrez-Dona, Sud & Schwarzer, 2002;Schwarzer & Fuchs, 1995).…”

“…This requires interaction, interdependence, and cooperation between members to perform tasks (Martinez, Guillen & Feltz, 2011). As such, shared beliefs in collective efficacy allow people to pool their knowledge, capabilities, and resources, to rely on each other for support and mutual backing, and to work together to create solutions and seek better lives (Fernandez-Ballesteros et al, 2002). In other words, the collective efficacy of group members has an effect on the types of futures they endeavor to attain through group effort and action (Bandura, 2000).…”

“…The meaning that Bandura puts into concept of self-efficacy, which he places at the center of social cognitive theory, stands out in this context in explaining the mutual dependency between personal agency and social structure. In a sense, social cognitive theory and the concept of perceived self-efficacy should be regarded as a rejection of any dualism between social structures and personal subject (Ballesteros, Nicolá s, Caprara, Barbaranelli & Bandura, 2002). In this respect, self-efficacy should be interpreted as a construct derived from social cognitive theory, which assumes human behavior, cognition and environment shape each other dynamically through mutual triple causal effect (Gist & Mitchell, 1992).…”

“…Bandura explains this view with the example of children in authoritarian education systems having less self-efficacy about taking responsibility of their own learning even though children in different countries have equal self-efficacy. Ballesteros et al (2002) points out that different types of perceived efficacy can differ according to age and gender. For example, although males and females do not differ in their perceived efficacy to manage their own lives, males have stronger perceived efficacy to change their lives for the better through social change.…”
