This randomized controlled trial aims to test whether enhancing meta self-efficacy through a self-guided internet intervention improves young employees' work self-efficacy and occupational well-being. The trial will evaluate primary (work self-efficacy) and secondary (three dimensions of occupational well-being) outcomes. It is hypothesized that boosting meta self-efficacy will lead to improvements in outcomes, with effects assessed immediately after the intervention, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups.

Meta self-efficacy internet intervention
BehavioralThe meta self-efficacy intervention is a three-week program comprised of activities designed to enhance meta self-efficacy (the ability to leverage self-efficacy sources). The intervention is contextualized to young employees.
Placebo
BehavioralThe placebo condition contains educational material delivered with the same modality as in the experimental condition.
Work Self-Efficacy
Work Self-Efficacy will be measured with the Work Self-Efficacy scale (WSES). The questionnaire consists of 26 items. The responses range from 1 (not at all) to 7 (completely).
Job Affective Well-Being
Job Affective Well-Being will be measured with the Job Affective Well-Being Scale (JAWS). The questionaire consists of 12 items. The responses rage from 1 (never) to 5 (very often).
Job Stress
Job Stress will be measured with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The scale consists of 4 items rated on a scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). It will be applied to measure job stress. The questionnaire's instructions have been modified to align with the occupational context.
Work Capabilities
Work capabilities will be measured with the Capability Set for Work Questionaire (CSWQ). The questionaire consists of 7 capabilities, for each there are three aspects to evaluate. The responses range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Meta self-efficacy.
Meta self-efficacy will be measured with the meta self-efficacy scale (MSES). The questionnaire consists of 13 items. The responses range from 0 (cannot do at all) to 10 (certain can do). Higher score indicates higher level of meta self-efficacy.
