Transfer of training: Written self‐guidance to increase self‐efficacy and interviewing performance of job seekers
研究对35名IT专业人士进行面试技能培训后，随机分配16人接受书面自我指导干预，发现该干预显著提升面试表现，且自我效能起中介作用。
Abstract Subsequent to training IT professionals ( n = 35) in skills for performing effectively in a selection interview, 16 were randomly assigned to a transfer of training intervention, written self‐guidance (WSG). This methodology is based on social cognitive and self‐persuasion theories. The results showed that WSG resulted in significantly higher ratings from an interviewer than did those in the control group. Self‐efficacy for interviewing skill mediated the relationship between WSG and performance. A content analysis of the WSG letters showed that the use of self‐affirming and self‐relevant statements was positively related to performance in the selection interview. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
