Abstract
From business-related literature, the occupational-self efficacy (OSE) theory has been used to explain employee confidence, motivation, success, or lack of success when used in conjunction with measurable training or evaluation. The presence and effects of OSE have been seen in various occupational sectors and industries. For Human Resources practitioners, utilizing the concepts of OSE in the workforce is more than just training or communication. The present study analyzed the presence and effects of OSE on an online student population at a technical college in a Midwestern University. The results from frequency, correlation, and cross-tabulation tests reveal that levels of OSE can change, that demographic variables such as age and gender can influence OSE growth, and there is significance with OSE and job performance. The present study identified various training techniques and research possibilities for Human Resource (HR) personnel. The results may aid HR personnel with growing employee confidence, motivation, and measurable growth in knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs), training, and evaluations.
