Developing Efficacy Beliefs for Ethics and Diversity Management
研究在组织行为学入门课程中，通过写作任务提升学生对伦理和多样性管理的效能信念，发现该任务的效果超出课程内容本身。
Business schools are increasingly expected to prepare students to deal with ethics and diversity issues in organizational life. To do so, students need both the requisite skills and the belief that they can manage ethics and diversity issues effectively. Accordingly, we describe an approach for developing students' ethics and diversity efficacy beliefs in an introductory organizational behavior course. Results suggest that a required writing assignment increased efficacy beliefs on the chosen topic (diversity or ethics management) beyond that accounted for by course content. Implications for business education are discussed.
