%X This study was conducted to examine the effect of selected respondent characteristics and training program characteristics on trainees¡¯ perceptions of self-efficacy using a sample of 74 usable questionnaires gathered from employees in an electrical company in Sarawak, Malaysia. The outcomes of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that none of the demographic characteristics of the respondents had a significant impact on their perceived levels of selfefficacy. Conversely, the results of multiple regression analysis confirmed that trainees¡¯ self regulations did act as an important determinant of trainees¡¯ perceptions of self-efficacy. As such,the authors recommend that a positive self-talk session daily before starting work should be implemented to boost employees¡¯ self regulation in the organizational sample.
