Popis: We model task performance using computer self-efficacy (CSE) and self-prophecy (SP).Two studies were considered for this analysis.All hypotheses at least partially supported the study.Influences and interactions are observed to be significant.The interaction between SP and CSE affects performance. The existing information system (IS) literature has acknowledged computer self-efficacy (CSE) as an important factor contributing to enhancements in computer-related task performance. However, the empirical results of CSE on performance have not always been consistent, and increasing an individual's CSE is often a cumbersome process. Thus, we introduce the theoretical concept of self-prophecy (SP) and examine how this social influence strategy can be used to improve computer-related task performance. Two experiments are conducted to examine the influence of SP on task performance. Results show that SP and CSE interact to influence performance. Implications are then discussed in terms of organizations' ability to increase performance.
