ISRI - Information Systems Research Indicators

Construct: Computer Self-efficacy

Description
Indicators

Note 1: Following are presented the definitions found for the construct in the used references, together with the theory/model.
Note 2: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
Note 3: If the construct was not proposed in the original theory/model, it is identified as "Additional to theory/model".

Definition: Refers to a judgment of one's capability to use a computer.

Theory/model: SCT
Reference: (Compeau & Higgins, 1995b)

Definition: The degree to which an individual believes that he or she has the ability to perform a specific task/job using the computer.

Theory/model: TAM3
Reference: (Compeau & Higgins, 1995a, 1995b; Venkatesh & Bala, 2008)

Note 1: This list contains all the indicators (measuring variables) as defined by the authors when proposing/using/applying a theory/model in a context. It also includes the scales used to measure the variables.
Note 2: Some of the indicators are context-dependent.
Note 3: The same construct can be present in more than one theory/model.
