“…Bandura (1982) defined selfefficacy as judgments individuals make about their competency to perform a defined task; he identified four sources of self-efficacy development-enactive mastery, modeling, verbal persuasion, and arousal. Various studies have found a positive relationship between pretraining self-efficacy and ultimate training mastery (Harrison, Rainer, Hochwarter, & Thompson, 1997;Holladay & Quinones, 2003;Mathieu, Martineau, & Tannenbaum, 1993). In terms of transfer outcomes, self-efficacy has been found to be positively related to transfer generalization and transfer maintenance across multiple studies (Chiaburu & Marinova, 2005;Ford, Smith, Weissbein, Gully, & Salas, 1998;Gaudine & Saks, 2004;Gist, 1989;Latham & Frayne, 1989;Mathieu, Tannenbaum, & Salas, 1992;Saks, 1995;Stevens & Gist, 1997;Tannenbaum, Mathieu, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 1991).…”

Given the proliferation of training transfer studies in various disciplines, we provide an integrative and analytical review of factors impacting transfer of training. Relevant empirical research for transfer across the management, human resource development (HRD), training, adult learning, performance improvement, and psychology literatures is integrated into the review. We synthesize the developing knowledge regarding the primary factors influencing transfer-learner characteristics, intervention design and delivery, and work environment influences-to identify variables with substantive support and to discern the most pressing gaps. Ultimately, a critique of the state of the transfer literature is provided and targeted suggestions are outlined to guide future empirical and theoretical work in a meaningful direction. Keywords: training transfer; learner characteristics; intervention design; work environment; integrative literature reviewSince Baldwin and Ford's (1988) highly recognized review of the "transfer problem" in training research, an outpouring of conceptual and research-based suggestions have focused on how to lessen the gap between learning and sustained workplace performance. Estimates of the exact extent of the transfer problem vary, from Georgenson's (1982) estimate that 10% of training results in a behavioral change to Saks ' (2002) survey data, which suggest about 40% of trainees fail to transfer immediately after training, 70% falter in transfer 1 year after the program, and ultimately only 50% of training investments result in organizational or individual improvements. Given these estimates, it is clear that learning investments continue to yield deficient results, making training transfer a core issue for human resource development (HRD) researchers and practitioners focused on designing interventions that support individual, team, and organizational performance (Yamnill & McLean, 2001 As the stream of transfer research continues to infiltrate various academic disciplines (management, HRD, training, adult learning, psychology), the need for a comprehensive and analytical review is warranted to summarily link the assorted genres of transfer research and provide targeted direction moving forward. The last comprehensive literature review was offered by Ford and Weissbein (1997) and addressed the suggestions put forth in the seminal work of Baldwin and Ford (1988). These works identified gaps in the way transfer was viewed, studied, and measured, and have provided numerous opportunities to improve the study of transfer, especially in applied settings. While not attempting to keep in step with decade reviews, we do feel that advancements in the last decade in each of the areas-learner, design, and work environment-require an updated synthesis of the transfer literature to provide both experienced and emerging transfer scholars direction for future research.To conduct this integrative review, we first identified a taxonomy of major conceptual factors influencing transfer in order to categorize the ...

“…It is clear that computer selfefficacy promotes performance and lessens computer induced anxiety (Burkhardt & Brass 1990;Harrison & Rainer 1997) among users and that teachers' computer self-efficacy is a major influence shaping their patterns of computer use (Albion, 2001). In addition, computer self-efficacy significantly predicted pre-service teachers' ability to integrate technology use in the classroom ( Positive disposition towards computers is a prerequisite and catalyst to acquiring a high level of computer literacy and successful pedagogical use of technology (Francis, Katz, & Jones, 2000).…”

Abstract:The study investigated attitudes towards computer and computer self-efficacy as predictors of computer anxiety among 310 preservice mathematics teachers from five higher institutions of learning in Lagos and Ogun States of Nigeria using the quantitative research method within the blueprint of the descriptive survey design. Data collected were analysed using the descriptive statistics of percentages, mean, and standard deviation and inferential statistics of factor analysis, independent samples t-test, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Finding revealed that attitude toward computer assessed by the attitudes towards computer scale was a multi-dimensional construct (affective, perceived usefulness, behavioural intention and perceived control component). Gender differences in attitude toward computer and computer anxiety among preservice mathematics teachers were significant. Affective component, computer self-efficacy, perceived control component, and perceived usefulness component made statistically significant contributions to the variance in preservice mathematics teachers' computer anxiety. The study recommended among others that academic institutions should pay more attention to this computer anxiety and adopt proper ways of reducing the computer anxiety, so that positive e-learning experiences can be created for preservice teachers.

“…An individual with high levels of self-efficacy not only have a greater commitment to organization, but also higher level of job satisfaction (Luthans et al, 2006). Employees had higher self-efficacy which was found to be predictor of future performance and skill development (Harrison et al, 1997). The right amount of self-efficacy is said to instigate sufficient effort which in turn will produce desirable health and satisfaction outcomes (Stajkovic & Luthans, 1998).…”

The main objective of this research is to explore capabilities related to trust, self-efficacy, intellectual capital and job satisfaction at head-hunter companies in Indonesia. Development of human resources needs to be done through the strengthening of intellectual capital. Intellectual capital is needed head-hunter in improving company performance. The key to successful headhunter companies if it has human resources that have added value, especially strong intellectual capital. Research sampling was conducted on 253 candidates who utilize head-hunter services an effort to develop themselves. Quantitative research was developed by utilizing structural equation modeling. Research model developed head-hunter companies that describes intellectual capital as research findings refers to previous model of research. This finding concludes that trust and self-efficacy have significant influence on intellectual capital. Another conclusion stated that intellectual capital has significant effect on job satisfaction. The concept states that intellectual capital can be integrated in global perspective as framework for developing an organization. Info Article
