Understanding e-learning continuance intentic in the workplace: A self-determination theory perspective

摘要

Based on self-determination theory (SDT), this study proposed an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of e-learning service. In the proposed model perceived usefulness, perceived playfulness and perceived ease of use are predicted to be influenced by perceived autonomy support, perceived competence and perceived relatedness. Although TAM has received fairly extensive attention in prior research, this study is one of the first to examine the effects of motivational factors affecting TAM constructs. The results show that applying SDT to e-learning in a work setting can be useful for predicting continuance intention.
