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.
