Examining the antecedents of effectiveness of training through virtual learning environment

The purpose of this paper is to identify the antecedents of effectiveness of training through virtual learning environment. For this study, technology acceptance model (TAM1 and TAM2) and the theory of reasoned action (TRA) were used to relate training efficiency among users through virtual learning environment (VLE). The relationships between behavioural intention (BI), subjective norm (SN), perceived ease of use (PEU) and perceived use (PU) with learning effectiveness (LE) were evaluated. The cross-sectional descriptive research design has been used for answering the research questions. Partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used for data analysis using SMARTPLS 3.3.1 software. There was a significant positive association between LE by training through VLE and all the constructs adapted from TAM and TRA model. Implications for future research and practices are discussed.
