Abstract

ABSTRACT Means-efficacy was introduced by Eden as one’s perception of available organizational resources, a form of external efficacy which, together with internal (i.e., self) efficacy comprises a larger subjective efficacy construct. We further develop means-efficacy, elucidate its place in motivational theory, and present three studies to construct and validate the General Organizational Means-Efficacy Scale (GMES), the first such measure to date. Results support a general means-efficacy construct and provide convincing psychometric support for the GMES. We argue motivation theory will be advanced by adopting a general form of means-efficacy, and that the GMES provides a useful tool for future validation and other studies.

组织一般手段效能的理论框架与测度

Eden引入了“抽象意味着效能”作为一个人对可用组织资源的感知，这是一种外部效能的形式，与内部（即自我）效能一起构成了一个更大的主观效能结构。我们进一步发展了手段效能，阐明了它在动机理论中的地位，并提出了三项研究来构建和验证通用组织手段效能量表（GMES），这是迄今为止第一个这样的衡量标准。结果支持了一个通用的平均有效性结构，并为GMES提供了令人信服的心理测量支持。我们认为，动机理论将通过采用手段效能的一般形式来推进，并且GMES为未来的验证和其他研究提供了有用的工具。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
