User Satisfaction and Continuance Intention for Using E-Training: A Structural Equation Model

With the growth in technology, organizations have started investing in building technology infrastructure. The application of technology in enterprises has provided various advantages such as low training cost and reliable training content. This study tries to investigate the attributes influencing user satisfaction and continuance intention to use e-training. The study derives ease of use and course content as the factors that can affect user satisfaction which further results in a user’s intention to continuously use e-trainings. Following structural equation modelling (SEM), the results of the study have indicated a significant relation between ease of use, course content and user satisfaction. Furthermore, it has also indicated that continuance intention to use e-training is an outcome of user satisfaction.
