Abstract :
Today, the use of technology in education has led to the creation of new educational methods. Digital storytelling is one of the technologies that play a major role in education. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of job training through digital storytelling on the job adaptability and self-efficacy of employees. This research was quantitative in terms of objectives and data collection method. This quasi-experimental study has a pre-test/post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all employees of private air cargo service companies in Tehran province, and among this population, one company was selected by convenience sampling, and 60 employees were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups by voluntary sampling. Data were collected using Savickas’ career adaptability and Sherer’s general self-efficacy questionnaires and were analyzed in SPSS software at both descriptive and inferential levels. The findings showed that job training through digital storytelling can increase the adaptability and general self-efficacy of employees. Accordingly, digital storytelling might be used as a new educational resource and tool to meet the educational needs of organizations.
