Self-Efficacy

A person's belief in their own ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish particular tasks. In workplace inclusion contexts, self-efficacy is an important outcome measure for assistive technology interventions — technologies should not only help workers complete tasks but also build their confidence and sense of competence. Research on workplace AT highlights that evaluations often focus on short-term usability metrics while overlooking longer-term impacts on autonomy, job satisfaction, and self-efficacy, which are crucial for sustained employment and career development.
