Perceptions Of Barriers To E-Learning Among Employees: The Impact Of Employees' E-Learning Self-Efficacy
Main Article Content
Abstract
Technological advancements have significantly altered the way people lead their daily lives, particularly in the realm of learning. The rapid expansion of internet technologies and the evolution of computer software have reshaped the learning landscape in the past decade (Tayebinik et al., 2012). E-Learning, characterized by independent and customizable learning experiences outside traditional classrooms, has become a home-based program catering to the needs and preferences of learners (Al-Rahmi et al., 2018).
In organizational contexts, there has been a paradigm shift in perceiving e-Learning—from being viewed as a recurring expenditure to being recognized as an investment. Identifying factors that may contribute to the success or failure of e-Learning projects is crucial before their initiation. Being aware of these factors can mitigate the high costs associated with e-Learning failures and system breakdowns, leading to lost time. Explicitly recognizing the determinants of e-Learning success or failure enables the creation of an enhanced e-Learning environment for learners (Hani et al., 2013).
