Article: Activity System Model, Perceived Self-Efficacy, and Newcomer Integration Behaviour.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The research presented here contributes to the current debate on the effects of perceived self-efficacy (PSE). The study, undertaken with 157 schoolteachers who had just started their first teaching position, examined the moderating role of PSE on the effects of mismatches between expectations and actual work conditions on newcomer integration behaviour. Based on the theoretical model of multiple socialization, the results suggest that: 1) the degree of exchanges that subjects establish between different areas of their life influences PSE efficiency; 2) PSE effects can be positive or negative depending on the nature of the disturbances to which PSE is applied.

[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Universities are nowadays implementing policies aiming to expand ICT, yet students’ Internet practices have rarely been investigated. This paper, based on a survey administering a questionnaire to 277 participants (students), aims to: – describe student Internet practice, providing quantitative data (frequency of use; number of applications used; number of e-mail messages received and sent;...) and qualitative data (e-mail content; site content; purpose of Internet use; how Internet practices are integrated into a person’s activities;...). This data was analyzed using Hierarchical Ascendant Classification. Six specific Internet use clusters were discovered and are described here.– study relationships between the six Internet use clusters and key-variables concerning biographical and organizational features (age; gender; social economical status of parents; educational qualification; Internet access conditions at the university). Results are discussed and we look at the issue of social inequality and ask whether the opportunity to go on to further education–is decreased or increased through and because of Internet use.
