Abstract

In this study computer self-efficacy of Turkish undergraduate sport management students was investigated. There were a total of 295 sport management students from three universities. Data were collected by survey which was developed by Compeau and Higgins, 1995, translated to Turkish and adapted for students by Aktag, 2013. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation among students’ computer self-efficacy, performance outcome, personal outcome, affective outcome and a significant negative correlation between computer self-efficacy and anxiety level. Although there is no difference between males and females in terms of computer self-efficacy in the study, the high level of anxiety of female students indicates that they should be supported in technology. Students who are taking computer course received the highest computer self-efficacy than others who were not.
