Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Bank employees’ individual differences on the acceptance of Learning Management System (LMS) in the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT). The study aims to find out whether there are differences in perceived ease of use of technology, perceived usefulness of technology, and attitudes toward the use of LMS in terms of Bank employees’ gender, age, seniority, title, department, and LMS role groups. Survey design was used in this study. 167 participants, and 64 department managers and office users responded the survey significantly. The results of the study showed that age and seniority of “participants” affect the participants’ acceptance of LMS; in particular they affect the perceived usefulness of LMS. Furthermore, the department of “department managers and office users” affects their acceptance of LMS regarding perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitudes toward the use of LMS.
