Perception towards E-Learning System for Competency Training Among Non-Executive Employees in Utility Company

Abstract

This study examined the perception of the e-learning system for competency training among non-executive employees. E-learning will help employees to appreciate technologies as a tool for learning and this study explored their attitude and intention to use a technology for enhancing self-knowledge, skills and attitude. Acceptance of the technology will be reflected as an intention to use the new technology as mentioned. A descriptive study has been applied whereby questionnaires with seven sections have been distributed to a total of 380 respondents; with 307 samples taken for an analytical study. The result showed that there was a significant relationship between perceived ease of use, subjective norms, behavioural control and organizational management support towards behavioural intention to use e-learning as a training system. Thus, it is suggested that the organizational management should consider expanding e-learning awareness campaigns among employees specially to familiarize them with the e-learning training platform. This will widen employees’ perception and confidence towards e-learning; thus resulting in positive acceptance of technology practice especially in competency training.
