| Abstract | Although soft skills training is called for by many scholars and managers, empirical studies on concrete training programs are scarce and do not always have the methodological rigor that is necessary to draw meaningful conclusions about their impact. In the present research, we investigate the effects of a new soft skills metacognition training program on self-efficacy and adaptive performance. To test these effects, we conducted an experiment with a sample of employees of a large firm (n = 180). The experiment included pre- and post-measurements and a control condition. The results suggested that participating in the training led to an increase in soft skills metacognition, self-efficacy, and four dimensions of adaptive performance, compared to a control condition. Mediation analyses suggested that an increase in soft skills metacognition led to an increase in self-efficacy, which led, in turn, to an increase in adaptive performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, as well as limitations. |
