  • Abstract:
  • The present study was to do a Effect of computer self-efficacy and computer attitudes on occupational adjustment. For this study, teachers teaching in government and non-government higher secondary schools of Durg district have been included who are providing their services in various schools. For sampling, it was kept in mind that the sample should represent the entire population. Therefore, while sampling, 600 teachers (300 government and 300 non-government) working in various schools of Durg district were selected by stratified random method. To measure Computer Self – Efficacy Scale developed by Sood and Reena [2017] was employed to collect the data with respect to Computer Self – Efficacy. To obtained score of Computer Attitude, Computer Attitude Scale in 2012 constructed by Manika Sharma and Tahira Khatoon. Computer Attitude has been defined as a person’s general evaluation or feeling of favoror empathy towards the computer technologies and specific computer related activities. For collecting the data related to Teacher’s Occupational Adjustment a Teacher’s Occupational Adjustment Inventory developed by Rizvi (2016) was used by the researcher. Teacher’s Occupational Adjustment means the teacher must have an in-depth liking, awareness of the pros and cons of his profession. The result shows a significant effect of interaction between computer self-efficacy and computer attitude on Occupational Adjustment on higher secondary school teachers. Thus, the null hypothesis stating that 'There is no significant effect of interaction between computer self-efficacy and computer attitude on occupational adjustment of higher secondary school teachers' is rejected. It can be concluded that in the case of higher secondary teachers with highly positive computer attitudes, as computer self-efficacy increases from low to high, their occupational adjustment increases significantly. Whereas in the case of higher secondary teachers with less favorable computer attitudes, the result is also similar, that is, as computer self-efficacy increases from low to high, occupational adjustment also increases, and the increase is quite rapid and registerable.
