Abstract

To enhance the organizational productivity, the employees of organizations need to update and expand their skills on a continuous basis. Therefore, organizations spent vast amount of resources on employee professional development. Due to its lower cost and flexibility, workplace e-learning has become popular and received increased attention in research. This study utilized hierarchical regression analysis to examine the unique predictive relationships between various psychological factors of employees and their perceived learning effectiveness and satisfaction in e-learning. The results suggested the predictive utility of perceived enjoyment and perceived reward for learning effectiveness and satisfaction after controlling for virtual competence. In contrast, information seeking experience was not predictive of learning effectiveness and satisfaction after controlling for virtual competence.
