The Digital Self-Efficacy Scale : Adaptation and Validation of its Spanish Version

The importance of Digital Self-Efficacy is likely to increase in the future as digital technologies become increasingly ubiquitous. To succeed in today's digital world, it is essential for people to have a strong belief in their ability to use digital technologies effectively, and for researchers to have adequate instruments to measure it. This study examined the validity and reliability of the adapted version of the Digital Self-Efficacy Scale on a heterogeneous sample of Ecuatorian workers. The results showed that our translated 19-item scale is a valid and reliable measure of this construct in Spanish. Nomological network analysis with SEM showed that Digital Self-Efficacy had a positive and significant association with Task-technology Fit and the Use of Technology. This suggests that workers with higher levels of Digital Self-Efficacy are more likely to use technology effectively and efficiently and that they are more likely to find technology that is a good fit for their work tasks
