Social Cognitive Theory as a Framework to Explain Intentions to Practice Healthy Eating Behaviors1Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 23
Based on research involving a sample of 1,030 employees in three different organizations, the determinants of ambition for a managerial position were examined using LISREL analyses. The analysis provided support for the model derived from social cognitive career theory. Ambition for a managerial position was mainly explained by managerial self‐efficacy, which was influenced by performance attainment, physiological arousal, and verbal persuasion. Outcome expectancies and work‐role salience had a direct as well as an indirect relationship with ambition for a managerial position, mediated by managerial self‐efficacy. Although the structural model was supported in the three samples, the estimated parameters in the model differed. Contrary to what was expected, vicarious experience did not contribute to self‐efficacy in management tasks.
