In learning computer skills, the learner''s motivation and performance are affected reciprocally by his or her inner drive and the environment. In information systems research, few studies have been conducted to investigate the reciprocal interaction of one''s self-efficacy, performance, and self-satisfaction. This study proposes a self-regulation model based on the Social Cognitive Theory to facilitate this line of research. By conducting an experiment through a Visual Basic training course, data were collected and analyzed. Results provide support for the proposed self-regulation model in computer skill learning. Generally speaking, one''s computer self-efficacy, performance, and self-satisfaction for the group that has a superior past VB performance are better than those for the group of an inferior history. But situation differences result in significant, varying reactions between the two groups. When the task difficulty is low, the rate of change in computer self-efficacy, performance, and self-satisfaction between the two groups is not significant. But when the level of difficult is raised, the superior-past group''s self-efficacy, performance, and self-satisfaction were able to bounce back while the inferior-group''s continues to be low. After the verbal encouragement and realistic incentives are added, the inferior group shows increase in their self-efficacy, performance, and self-satisfaction. All together, the research reveals the complicated reciprocal interaction between one''s self-regulatory mechanisms and the environment. The practical implications to computer skill training and future research directions are discussed. Keywords: Social Cognitive Theory, Computer Skill Training, Self-Regulation, Computer Self-Efficacy, Self-Satisfaction.
