ABSTRACT

This study examined the perception and readiness of employees working in a learning organization. Organizational learning is a form of learning in which a person utilizes their unique capabilities, including information systems, in order to get an insight into organizational problems and opportunities. In this study, a conceptual model is used based on the theory of planned behavior, which explains how workers in a learning organization conceive organizational learning using information systems. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data from 200 workers, including knowledge workers, faculty members, students, administrators and software house employees and internees in a university. The results show that, based on the theory of planned behavior, employees acceptance of organizational learning is reasonably good. More specifically, attitudes and behavioral controls positively influenced their intention to accept organizational learning through information systems. The research shows that both the perceived ease of use and the perceived usefulness affected the workers’ and students’ attitudes toward the adaptation of information systems for organizational learning.
