Research Question: Which factors are significant in satisfaction of employees using e-learning systems?
Methodology: In an effort to determine employee’s satisfaction with e-learning systems, the researchers in this article first elected to conduct a literature review revolving around the relationship between experimental learning and learning satisfaction and whether learning satisfaction contributed positively to career opportunities. A questionnaire was also designed and given to a select group of employees in which the respondents were asked to agree or disagree with questions using a five point Liker scale.
Extent to which this article takes a social informatics approach to the research study: This study takes a social informatics approach in that it stressed and emphasized the element of the user and how they interacted with the specific ICT. Rather than dwelling on strictly putting the ICT under the microscope, these researchers decided to delve into the beliefs and effects of the user base. The research in this article was based overall on employee satisfaction but in order to get a fair measurement these researchers broke this concept into four sections: educational technology, motivation, educational content & attitude. By analyzing the data in this fashion, researchers were able to ultimately identify the most important aspects from each area, and tie it all together to paint the bigger picture.
