Abstract

Purpose: To examine the information-seeking behavior of graduate students in compiling their dissertation. Methodology: 328 students completed three questionnaires; namely, Problem solving, Self-efficacy and Information seeking behavior questionnaire. Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and independent t-test using SPSS version 23. Findings: A relationship was found between the subscales of selfassurance, avoidance, self-control and Self-efficacy as independent variable with Information seeking behavior. The results of multiple regression showed that the predictor variable of self-assurance, avoidance style and self-control explained the variance of Information seeking behavior. The Self-efficacy variable also explained the Information seeking behavior. There was also a significant difference between male and female students. No significant difference was found between Problem solving and academic degree. Conclusion: Students with Problem solving skills have higher degrees of Self-efficacy and a better performance with regard to Information seeking behavior. As such, the study sheds light on the process of information retrieval and gives more insight to future researchers.
