Exploring Differential Impacts of Autonomous Learning and Induced Learning on End-User Software Training

摘要: Effective end-user training/learning plays a critical role in organizations for successfully implementing information systems and promoting productive use of the implemented (Bostrom et al., 1990; Compeau & Higgins, 1995; Lim 1997). This research tries to explore differential impacts autonomous learning (learning that happened natural working environment through routine technology work) induced formal efforts such as training, seminars, or workshops) on effectiveness end-users’ different software packages. The study focuses nature packages hypothesizes categories need considerations learning/training. development taxonomy package facilitates future activities also helps IS managers select strategies end-users. emphasizes two types (autonomous induced) process suggests training program may be more effective when it combines applications environment. insight should provide both researchers broader view learning.
