E-learning adoption in the banking workplace in Indonesia

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) could be extended to include external variables including computer self-efficacy, prior experience, computer anxiety, management support and compatibility, to further understand the learners' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of an e-learning system. The study also aims to clarify which factors are more influential in affecting the decision to use e-learning. Five factors were examined together with the TAM construct using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) technique. The study reveals that management support, prior experience, computer anxiety and compatibility have predictive power towards behavioral intention to use e-learning systems. The results gained from this study, which took place in the banking workplace in Indonesia, provide a conceptual framework for individuals and organizations to better understand the critical factors which influence e-learning acceptance in developing countries.

Technical Resources in E-training Acceptance

“…Technology Acceptance Model An extension of the theory of reasoned action, the technology acceptance model (TAM) assesses elements that can stimulate either the rejection or acceptance of technology (Davis, 1989;Venkatesh & Davis, 2000). Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use are the two vital variables of the TAM (Purnomo & Lee, 2013). Lee (2006) endorsed the continual refining of PU and PEOU as bases so as to assess their strength in technology acceptance.…”

“…In carry out any activity, an individual usually tries to assess the effort that will be required for that activity (Bugembe 2010). Therefore, when a system is perceived to be useful in comparison to other system, users are more likely to accept it (Purnomo & Lee, 2013). Purnomo and Lee (2013) stated that acceptance is the product of a rational assessment of the system which guides the decision to accept.…”

Purnomo and Lee (2013) stated that acceptance is the product of a rational assessment of the system which guides the decision to accept. PU serves as base in TAM and the construct is used to determine the connections between acceptance and the external variables of a study (Han, 2003).…”

“…PU serves as base in TAM and the construct is used to determine the connections between acceptance and the external variables of a study (Han, 2003). Furthermore, PU has shown significant close connections in system acceptance (Davies et al, 1989;Han, 2003;Purnomo & Lee, 2013). This is because user assesses their performance based on their opinion of how that system can help in their performance.…”

Assessing Students’ Attitude and Intention to Use M- learning in Higher Education

“…432) characterized CA as "evoking anxious or emotional reactions when it comes to performing a behavior." XP refers the extent to which individuals with more experience in computer use, Internet and email, as well as saving and locating files are more likely to have favorable feelings towards the e-learning system's usefulness and ease of use (Lee et al, 2013;Purnomo & Lee, 2013). Finally, TI has been defined as the personal willingness for trying new information technologies (Agrawal & Prasad, 1998).…”
