Meeting trainees' expectations: The influence of training fulfillment on the development of commitment, self-efficacy, and motivation.

Abstract

The development of organizational commitment, academic self-efficacy, physical self-efficacy, and motivation was examined in a socialization-type training context with data collected from 666 military trainees. The hypotheses were that (a) training fulfillment, or the extent to which training meets or fulfills a trainee's expectations and desires, (b) trainee reactions, and (c) training performance would be related to the develpoment of posttraining attitudes. Support was obtained for each hypothesis.
