| Summary: | Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and teammember
exchange (TMX) among aviation service students, and examines how these
factors influence academic achievement and collaborative behavior. Self-efficacy,
based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, is defined as an individual’s belief in
their ability to overcome challenges, while TMX reflects the quality of social exchanges
among team members.
Methods: A convenience sample of undergraduate students from an aviation service
department was recruited, yielding 65 valid responses. Self-efficacy was measured
using the New General Self-Efficacy Scale along with additional validated items, and
TMX was assessed with a TMX-10 scale, both utilizing a 5-point Likert scale. Data
analysis included descriptive statistics, K-means clustering to identify behavioral
segments, ANOVA for group comparisons, and regression analysis to explore the
relationship between self-efficacy and TMX.
Results: The analysis revealed four distinct behavioral clusters: confident collaborator,
team player, reserved individual, and solo achiever. Results indicated that higher selfefficacy
is associated with enhanced TMX and academic performance. Moreover,
significant differences in self-efficacy and TMX scores were observed across the
clusters, and regression analysis confirmed a positive relationship between selfefficacy
and the quality of team interactions.
Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of fostering both self-efficacy and
effective team exchanges to optimize collaborative learning environments in aviation
service education. Tailored educational interventions based on behavioral clustering can
further enhance academic outcomes and prepare students for professional challenges. |
