The Effect of Training in Verbal Self-Guidance on the Self-Efficacy and Performance of Native North Americans in the Selection Interview
Latham, Gary P.; Budworth, Marie-Helene
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v68 n3 p516-523 Jun 2006
Native North Americans ("n" = 35) received training in verbal self-guidance (VSG) designed to increase self-efficacy in a selection interview. At the end of the training program, the trainees who acquired skills in VSG had higher self-efficacy than the participants in the control group ("n" = 31) regarding their interview performance. They also performed better in the selection interview as judged by managers who were blind to the experimental conditions.
