• Personality determinants of political participation: The contribution of traits and self-efficacy beliefs (2009, background): “Others have argued that self-efficacy mediates the effect of personality dispositions on several outcomes, such as job performance (Kanfer, 1992) and career interest (Nauta, 2004).”
• Impact of Teacher Self-Efficacy on Secondary School Students’ Academic Achievement (2017, background): “The study of self-efficacy and its impact on human performance has intrigued many scholars during the last two decades, for example, Clayson and Sheffet, 2006; Nauta, 2004; Muijsand Rejnolds 2001; Bandura, 1997 and Soodak and Podell, 1993.”
• Outcome Expectations: Looking to the Past and Potential Future (2006, methodology): “Although the SCCM incorporated outcome expectations as a distinct construct, many studies have focused primarily on the self-efficacy portion of the model (e.g., Kerr & Kurpius, 2004; Nauta, 2004; Quimby & O’Brien, 2004; Turner & Lapan, 2002).”
• Career Self-Efficacy: Exemplary Recent Research and Emerging Directions (2007, background): “The relationships of Big Five Factors and RIASEC confidence measures have also been examined (Nauta, 2004; Schaub & Tokar, 2005).”
• Test of three conceptual models of influence of the big five personality traits and self-efficacy on academic performance: A meta-analytic path-analysis (2018, background): “Nauta (2004) showed that self-efficacy fully mediated the relationships between the Big Five traits and career interests, except for agreeableness where the mediation was partial.”
• The Five-Factor Model and Career Self-Efficacy (2007, methodology): “Both Nauta (2004) and Rottinghaus et al. (2002) found small to moderate correlations for (a) agreeableness and social (efficacy), (b) conscientiousness and conventional, (c) extraversion and enterprising, (d) extraversion and social, (e) openness and artistic, and (f) openness and investigative.”
• Entrepreneurship as a career choice: intentions, attitudes, and outcome expectations (2019, background): “Further evidence from the psychology domain suggests that self-efficacy mediates the relationship between individual attributes and attitudes (e.g. Nauta 2004; Rogers, Creed, and Glendon 2008).”
• A Short Version of the Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale: Structural and Construct Validity Across Five Countries (2008, background): “Some authors, however, have also postulated and reported mediating effects of self-efficacy (e.g., Lent & Hackett, 1987) in the stress–strain chain or between personality traits and career interests (Nauta, 2004).”
