RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Mühlbacher, Jürgen A1 Siebenaler, Tom T1 Ready for Changes? The Influence of General Self-Efficacy and Resistance to Change on Managers' Future Competence Requirements JF European Journal of Business Science and Technology YR 2018 VO 4 IS 2 SP 126 OP 142 DO 10.11118/ejobsat.v4i2.131 UL https://ejobsat.cz/artkey/ejo-201802-0002.php 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.
