Abstract

We are now in an era where all organizations are orienting themselves towards strategic human resource management initiatives. One such an initiative is the use of Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) that enables the organizations to offer consistent and convenient training to their employees at low cost. The investments made in implementing VLE can have fruitful returns only when there is continuous usage by the employees which is determined by satisfaction derived from it. Though many studies have attempted to test the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, self efficacy, learning style, technical know-how, interaction with instructor & interaction with other learners and the e-learner satisfaction, no study has holistically tested the relationship. This paper tries to fill the gap by proposing a single conceptual framework depicting the relationship between all such employee related variables and e-learning satisfaction which in turn influences the continuance intention to use. The proposed framework will help organizations in formulating strategies to enhance employees’ satisfaction towards e-learning and thereby increasing their intention to use the e-learning system.
