One important way in which people assert their agency in the workplace is by engaging in self-advocacy. We used the social cognitive model of career self-management (CSM; Lent & Brown, 2013) to examine hypothesized predictors and outcomes of workers' engagement in self-advocacy. Participants were 511 full-time employees who completed an online survey of self-assertive efficacy involving advocacy behavior, proactive personality, perceived organizational support, self-advocacy behaviors (voice, career initiative, job change negotiation), and three career success criteria (career satisfaction, organizational rewards growth, and hierarchical status at work). Splitting the sample into two parts, we first examined the psychometric properties of a new measure of self-assertive efficacy in relation to workplace advocacy behaviors (SAE-W; n = 200). In the second phase, we tested a set of measurement models to confirm the factor structure of the new measure (n = 311). Results suggested that the SAE-W measure can be viewed as largely unidimensional. Path analyses of the CSM model, including the new self-efficacy measure, offered good fit to the data across gender, racial/ethnic groups, and educational level. We discuss the implications of the findings for future research on self-advocacy behaviors in the workplace from a social cognitive perspective.

自我肯定的效能和工作场所的倡导行为：社会认知分析。

人们在工作场所维护其代理权的一种重要方式是进行自我宣传。我们使用职业自我管理的社会认知模型 (CSM; Lent & Brown, 2013) 来检验假设的预测因素和工人参与自我倡导的结果。参与者是 511 名全职员工，他们完成了一项关于自我肯定效能的在线调查，涉及倡导行为、积极主动的人格、感知到的组织支持、自我倡导行为（声音、职业主动性、工作变动谈判）和三个职业成功标准（职业生涯）满意度、组织奖励增长和工作中的等级地位）。将样本分成两部分，我们首先检查了与工作场所倡导行为相关的一种新的自我肯定效能测量的心理测量特性（SAE-W；n = 200）。在第二阶段，我们测试了一组测量模型以确认新测量的因子结构 (n = 311)。结果表明，SAE-W 度量可以被视为主要是一维的。CSM 模型的路径分析，包括新的自我效能测量，为跨性别、种族/族裔群体和教育水平的数据提供了很好的拟合。我们从社会认知的角度讨论了这些发现对未来工作场所自我倡导行为研究的意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。为跨性别、种族/族裔群体和教育水平的数据提供了很好的拟合。我们从社会认知的角度讨论了这些发现对未来工作场所自我倡导行为研究的意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。为跨性别、种族/族裔群体和教育水平的数据提供了很好的拟合。我们从社会认知的角度讨论了这些发现对未来工作场所自我倡导行为研究的意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
