Continuous e-learning at the workplace: the passport for the future of knowledge

Abstract

PurposeConceptual model in this paper combines existing scientific knowledge grounded in theories of planned behavior, diffusion of innovation and a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, while aiming to identify relevant determinants of continuous use of e-learning by employees who used e-learning in the past year at their workplace.Design/methodology/approachThe authors developed and empirically tested the positive impact of professional, personal, IT and environmental factors on the continued use of e-learning among 672 employees across different sectors using the structural equation modeling technique.FindingsResearch results suggest that the most powerful determinant of continuous use of e-learning are personal factors. Environmental influences and technological aspects also exhibit a positive and significant impact on the continuous use of e-learning. Research hypothesis related to the positive influence of professional factors on the continuous use of e-learning has not been empirically confirmed. Also, results demonstrated that continued use of e-learning contributes to better individual business performance.Practical implicationsThe practical contribution is threefold: to companies, education institutions and human resource managers. For companies, identification of key determinants will lead to a better understanding of employees needs regarding continuous job improvements. The findings can be used by educational institutions to design e-learning programs according to results and real value to employees. On the other hand, human resource managers can benefit from this study in terms of getting concrete factors that motivate employees for continuous job improvement.Originality/valueThe research sheds light on the proposed integrated model that tests the post-adoption of the continuous use of e-learning within an organizational context.

Harapan kinerja ini didefinisikan sebagai seberapa besar individu percaya bahwa penggunaan sistem tertentu akan membantunya mencapai kinerja yang diharapkan (Venkatesh et al, 2003;Pynoo et al, 2011).…”

Organizational Learning and Teacher Performance in Public Educational Institutions in a District of Lima

“…Faced with the inexcusable need to be competitive, it is essential for organizations to apply creativity based on what is previously known (Evans et al, 2020;Kapo et al, 2020), thanks to which it generates innumerable benefits for the entity as well as for its employees (Khorasani & Zamanimanesh, 2020). Thus, employees become 'learning vehicles' providing value to the organization through their skills, knowledge and talent (De Vos et al, 2019).…”

Measuring the Effectiveness of e-learning in Public Sector
