ABSTRACT
This study investigated the role of computer proficiency and gender on self – efficacy among university staff. Two hundred and thirty – six staff of Ebonyi state university participated in the study. They consist of 120 male and 116 female workers. Their ages ranged from 25 – 60 years, with a mean age of 42 years.
Two instruments s adopted to elicit information from the participants were the computer proficiency scale developed by Ruba and Baniabduleraham (2006) and the General Self – Efficacy scale developed by Jerusalem and Schwarzer (1979). The two way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Statistic was adopted to test for the significance of the stated hypotheses: there would be no statistically significant difference between staff with high and low computer proficiency on self – efficacy, and there would be no statistically significant difference between male female staff on self – efficacy. The results of the study showed that staff with high proficiency in the use of computer had a higher self – efficacy than staff with low proficiency in the use of computers: F (1,232) = 133.45, P
