The Influence of General Self-Efficacy and Resistance to Change on Managers' Future Competence Requirements DP - 2018 Dec 28 TA - European Journal of Business Science and Technology PG - 126--142 VI - 4 IP - 2 AID - 10.11118/ejobsat.v4i2.131 IS - 23366494 AB - With this study, we will test the interrelations between the psychological concept of self-efficacy of managers and its influences on the resistance to change. The results show that it makes a qualitative difference, if change in competences occurs in a positive or a negative direction and that there is a clear predisposition of managers concerning change. Both results have to be taken into account in designing changes processes.
