Effects of training method and computer anxiety on learning performance and self-efficacy

The present study compared the effects of training method and computer anxi ety on learners' computer self-efficacy and learning performance. The study results indicated that the behavior-modeling training method yielded consi stently superior performance acid higher computer self-efficacy. The signif icant two-way interaction confirmed the importance of person-situation adap tation. In addition, the adaptation is task dependent. Findings off the stu dy contribute to an expanded understanding of the factors that influence le arning performance and self-efficacy and also have important implications f or the management of information systems.
