Employees' Acceptance of Learning Management System E-Learning Influence over Organizational Security Training

Many organizations are utilizing learning management e-learning (LMS-eLearning) systems for conducting employee professional skill advancement. To increase the likelihood of successful e-learning, management must prepare the workforce to accept the LMS-eLearning security training application. This study investigated whether anticipated ease of usage (AEOU) and anticipated benefits (AB) influence employees' approval of the LMS-eLearning platform to conduct security training within the company. Previous research studies on employees' acceptance of the learning management system-eLearning identified a gap and recommended additional research on behavioral attitudes toward LMS-eLearning platforms. The investigation was a quantitative, nonexperimental approach to examine the relationship between the two independent variables (IV) and the dependent variable (DV). To focus on information security training approval using LMS-eLearning, the TAM theory by Davis (1989) was used to examine the approval of LMS-eLearning. The target population for the study was information technology (IT) professionals. The required sample size of 107 was based on the calculation using the G*Power application. The survey participants were IT employees who used computers as part of their daily job functions in U.S. IT companies and performed IT work activities. Data was collected using a website-based survey conducted through SurveyMonkey. Multiple linear regression statistical tests generated output results using IBM's SPSS statistical software version 28.0, which tested the hypotheses. This research demonstrated that AEOU and AB influence employees' acceptance of LMS-eLearning security training. This study reinforces previous work that used TAM constructs to examine what influences an individual to accept and use technology.
