- Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to test whether enhancing meta self-efficacy through a self-guided internet intervention improves young employees' work self-efficacy and occupational well-being. The trial will evaluate primary (work self-efficacy) and secondary (three dimensions of occupational well-being) outcomes. It is hypothesized that boosting meta self-efficacy will lead to improvements in outcomes, with effects assessed immediately after the intervention, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups.
- Detailed Description
This study investigates the efficacy of a self-guided internet intervention designed to enhance meta self-efficacy in young employees. Meta self-efficacy is a psychological resource that encompasses the ability to leverage self-efficacy sources (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, persuasion, and affective \& physiological states) to boost context-specific self-efficacy. In this two-arm randomized controlled trial, participants (young employees) will be randomly assigned to an experimental group, which will receive internet intervention with activities aimed at enhancing meta self-efficacy, or to a placebo control group, which will receive educational content. Primary and secondary outcomes (including work self-efficacy, job stress, job affective well-being, and work capabilities), as well as the manipulation check (meta self-efficacy), will be assessed immediately after the intervention and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. The trial aims to evaluate the effect of enhancing meta self-efficacy and explore the impact of factors such as adherence and engagement on the intervention's efficacy.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Work Self-Efficacy Posttest (after 3 weeks), 3-months follow-up, 6-months follow-up Work Self-Efficacy will be measured with the Work Self-Efficacy scale (WSES). The questionnaire consists of 26 items. The responses range from 1 (not at all) to 7 (completely).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Job Affective Well-Being Posttest (after 3 weeks), 3-months follow-up, 6-months follow-up Job Affective Well-Being will be measured with the Job Affective Well-Being Scale (JAWS). The questionaire consists of 12 items. The responses rage from 1 (never) to 5 (very often).
Job Stress Posttest (after 3 weeks), 3-months follow-up, 6-months follow-up Job Stress will be measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The scale consists of 4 items rated on a scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). It will be applied to measure job stress. The questionnaire's instructions have been modified to align with the occupational context.
Work Capabilities Posttest (after 3 weeks), 3-months follow-up, 6-months follow-up Work capabilities will be measured with the Capability Set for Work Questionaire (CSWQ). The questionaire consists of 7 capabilities, for each there are three aspects to evaluate. The responses range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
