“…Self-efficacy was measured using the 10-item scale developed by Riggs and Knight (1994). Recognizing the debate between measures of generalized and specialized self-efficacy (e.g., Eden, 2001;Mone, 1994a;Wang & Richarde, 1988), Riggs and Knight argued that they devised a measure that "captures the best of both worlds" (task specific and generalized) self-efficacy by attaching instructions for respondents to "think about the ability to do the tasks required and answer in reference to personal work skills and ability to perform the job" (p. 759). Following Riggs and Knight, we gave instructions for respondents to answer the questions with regard to the given tasks in the relevant workplace.…”

Relationships Among Self-Efficacy, Pay-for-Performance Perceptions, and Pay Satisfaction: A Korean Examination

This study is an effort to extend our understanding of the antecedents of pay satisfaction, particularly in multiple South Korean firms. We first examine the impact of self-efficacy on overall pay satisfaction and three of its subdimensions: satisfaction with pay level, satisfaction with benefits, and satisfaction with pay structure/administration. Next, we assess the moderating effects of pay-for-performance perceptions on the relationship between self-efficacy and pay satisfaction. Results from 256 employees in four South Korean companies support the proposed hypotheses that self-efficacy is negatively related to overall pay satisfaction and its three subdimensions. We also found support for the moderating role of pay-for-performance perceptions on the self-efficacy-pay satisfaction relations, for all pay satisfaction subdimensions except pay-level satisfaction. We discuss implications, future research directions, and limitations of this study.

“…However, as suggested by Bandura (1989), domain-specific measures of self-efficacy, when compared to more global assessments, are likely to garner more precision in terms of the associations between self-appraisals and actual behavior. Indeed, a substantial literature in domains other than parenting attests to the superior predictive validity of taskspecific over global measures of self-efficacy (Beck & Lund, 1981;Earley & Lituchy, 1991;Lachman & Leff, 1989;Multon, Brown, & Lent, 1991;Pajares & Miller, 1995;Wang & Richarde, 1988). In addition, Bandura (1989) has noted that specification of causal structures or the patterning of variables linking self-efficacy beliefs to performance outcomes becomes realistic only with highly specified self-efficacy beliefs.…”

This study was designed to examine parenting self-efficacy beliefs as correlates of mothers' competence in parenting toddlers and as predictors of toddlers' behavior and development. Sixty-eight predominantly middle-class mother-toddler pairs participated in this study. Mothers completed questionnaires, toddlers were administered the Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID-II), and each dyad participated in the Crowell Procedure, which is designed to observe parent and toddler behaviors in a semistructured laboratory context. Although domain-general and domain-specific parenting self-efficacy beliefs were not associated with parenting competence, domain-specific beliefs were significantly related to toddlers' scores on the Mental Scale of the BSID-II and several behaviors observed during the Crowell Procedure (Affection Towards Mother, Avoidance of Mother, Compliance, Enthusiasm, and Negativity). Implications of the findings are discussed.RESUMEN: Este estudio fue diseñado con el fin de examinar las creencias que se tienen de la autoeficacia en la crianza como correlativos de la capacidad de las madres de criar a sus infantes, así como puntos de predicción de la conducta y desarrollo de los propios infantes. Sesenta y ocho pares de madres y sus infantes, predominantemenmte de clase media, participaron en este estudio. Las madres respondieron cuestionarios; con los infantes se utilizaron las Escalas Bailey para el Desarrollo Infantil. (BSID-II). Cada díada participó en el Procedimiento Crowell, el cual está diseñado para observar las conductas de las madres y de los infantes dentro de un contexto de laboratorio semiestructurado. Aunque las creencias de la propia eficacia como madres, tanto en los aspectos generales como específicos no estuvieron asociadas con la capacidad materna de criar, las creencias específicas estuvieron significativamente relacionadas con los puntajes de los infantes en la Escala Mental de BSID-II y varios de los comportamientos observados durante el Procedimiento Crowell (el afecto hacia la madre, el evitar la madre, obediencia, entusiasmo y negatividad). Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados.RÉ SUMÉ : Cette étude a été conçue pour examiner les croyances d'auto-efficacité de parentage en tant que corrélats de la compétence des mères pour le parentage des enfants en bas âge et en tant que facteurs de prédiction du comportement et du développement des enfants en bas âge. Soixante huit paires mère-jeune enfant (issus de la bourgeoisie) ont participé à cette étude. Les mères remplirent des questionnaires, on

“…Five scales were found that measure this type of selfefficacy (Burger & Cooper, 1979;Sakano & Tohjoh, 1986;Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995;Sherer & Maddux, 1982;Tipton & Worthington, 1984). However, Bandura (1997) cautions that general self-efficacy scales "violate the basic assumption of the multidimensionality of selfefficacy beliefs" (p. 48) and some researchers also have shown the limitation of general self-efficacy scales (Tipton & Worthington, 1984;Wang & Richarde, 1988). Therefore, this review focused only on the task-specific self-efficacy and its scales.…”

Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy: Analysis of Theory and Measurement in Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy seeks to effectively change clients' behavior to result in better quality of life by both focusing on tasks that clients find purposeful and meaningful and by enhancing clients' sense of competence. Self-regulatory system theory similarly demonstrates that behaviors are best predicted by the combined influence of one's competence to perform a task (self-efficacy) and the purposefulness and meaningfulness of a task (outcome expectancy). In this paper, twenty-four scales for self-efficacy and outcome expectancy for older adults were reviewed. However, these scales were found not to be validly following the theoretical framework. Furthermore, in clinical contexts, therapists rarely evaluate clients' states using scales; rather they observe clients' nonverbal and verbal behavior. This observational assessment is not only found to be reliable but also helps to develop a strong working alliance and better rehabilitation outcome. Research is currently underway to develop a systematic method to identify which of the clients' cues are valid and reliable expressions of self-efficacy and outcome expectancy.
