The investigation of the relationship among the knowledge of using information technology, self-efficacy beliefs and optimism in civil servants of the Attica Region who are over 45 years old.
Summary:
The present study investigated the relationship among the knowledge of using information technology, self-efficacy beliefs and optimism in civil servants of the Attica Region who are over 45 years old. Moreover, the investigation concerned the role of the demographic information (gender, age, education level, position of employment, marital status and years of working experience in the public sector), in the acquisition of I.T. knowledge, as well as the formation of self-efficacy beliefs and level of optimism of the civil servants of the Attica Region who are over 45 years old. The final sample of this study consisted of 226 civil servants of the Attica Region, both men and women between 45-67 years old. The participants completed questionnaires about demographic information, the Perceived Self-Efficacy in Career Scale (P.S.E.C.S.), the Life Orientation Test- Revised (LOT-R) of Scheier, Carver, & Bridges (1994), translated and adapted to the greek language by Tsechelidou, and an improvised questionnaire concerning the investigation of I.T. knowledge. The results showed that the specific civil servants possess a quite good level of I.T. knowledge and their level of self-efficacy beliefs is high. However, they seem to feel moderate optimism. It was also observed that some demographic information such as gender, marital status, parental role and the position of employment influence the four factors of self-efficacy beliefs and I.T. knowledge.
