Personal Effectiveness, Commitment and Organizational Trust Impact on e-Learning Effectiveness

Abstract

The e-Learning gains a central position in broad and diverse methods of organizational capacities acquisition and development. However, its implementation involves a behavioral constraint. The paper discusses the factors which promote the acceptance of the use of e-learning by employees as a new learning style. The objective of this study is to identify the determinants of the use of e-Learning as a new learning style based on a social cognitive theory, technology acceptance model, social exchange theory and organizational learning theory. Within a human perspective, the theoretical model is built regarding to the extracted determinants from the literature. The second objective is to empirically test the developed model from a sample of employees in the Tunisian context through an exploratory qualitative study reinforced by an empirical study conducted among a sample of 318 Tunisian employees.
