Abstract

Benefits of e-learning for an organization depend upon the extent to which the employees adopt this innovation. The factors that influenced individuals to accept e-learning in an organization were analyzed based on the Technology Acceptance Model-TAM by DAVIS et al. (1989). A review of literature on adoption of technologies and implementation of e-learning was made to develop the theoretical framework. Empirical research was conducted in a large telecommunications company with a multiple method approach including questionnaires for 312 employees, five interviews with the company e-learning team and document analysis. Results indicated factors that influenced e-learning intention of use and use behavior, highlighting a favorable learning environment as the most important because of its positive influence on both intention of use and use behavior for e-learning.
