Great post, and wonderful insights. I did my dissertation on how professional development and supervision can influence or impact self-efficacy in non-academic middle managers (whew, that is a mouthful)--exactly what you are talking about here. A lot of wonderful information came from doing that research, but much of it was that supervisors of those mid-level folks (listen up, senior level leaders!!) were not providing positive self-efficacy experiences. In fact, most of my participants reported negative supervision experiences, critical incidents, and professional development experiences. You are right on with your comments.
Thank you for participating in the dialogue. Your observation about the lack of "self-efficacy experiences" is a strong one. Feel free to share your dissertation link here!
