Luthans' Social Learning Theory

Luthans' Social Learning Theory suggests that people learn behaviors by observing others and the outcomes of their actions. Instead of only learning through direct experience or training, individuals watch role models, listen to feedback, and then imitate behaviors that seem effective or rewarding. Motivation to adopt new behaviors depends on whether they see positive results or reinforcement. This theory emphasizes that learning is a social process, involving observation, imitation, and reinforcement, influencing how people acquire and modify skills and attitudes in various settings.
