Abstract

The study was based on expectancy theory proposed by Vroom, which aimed to investigate the development of training self-efficacy, and training motivation with latent growth curve modeling. The study collected three-wave (pre-training, during training, post-training) data from 498 employees. In addition, a cross-lagged model was to examine the longitudinal relationships between training self-efficacy and training motivation. Results indicated that, first, employees’ training self-efficacy growth trajectory did not change with the training process, but there was positive relationship between initial state and growth rate. Second, employees’ training motivation growth trajectory increased during the training process, but there was no significant relationship between initial state and growth rate. Final, employees’ training self-efficacy had positive effect on post-training motivation, especially during training.
