Abstract
In this chapter, our fundamental thesis is that whilst Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) has universal application, including work contexts, such application needs to take account of contextual variance if it is indeed to be an effective organizational tool. With this in mind, we impose a structure, namely, individual, team and cultural contexts, whilst acknowledging these are embedded within general organizational contexts. Within each context, we have chosen to discuss specific examples, chosen from the multitude of possible examples. Notwithstanding, even when discussing these specific examples, we still emphasize that they are intended to be illustrative of the accompanying arguments and the fundamental thesis.
