El papel predictivo de la auto-eficacia en el Modelo de Demandas-Recursos Laborales: unestudio longitudinal

摘要

Taking Albert Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory as our starting point, we analysed the predicting role of self-efficacyin the Job Demands-Resources Model. We tested longitudinally the two underlying psychological processes, namely: 1) themotivational process, in which job resources (i.e., job autonomy and social support climate) foster engagement, and 2) theerosion process, in which high job demands (i.e., quantitative overload and role conflict) lead to burnout. Structuralequation modelling in a sample of 274 secondary-school teachers confirmed both processes, as well as the powerful predictingrole of self-efficacy. Finally, we discuss the theoretical findings and the practical implications.
