| Abstract | Some organizations in Myanmar have started using e-learning systems as part of their learning and development plans caused by the pandemic crisis. Most organizations have also begun using online learning systems; which allow their employees to connect and learn virtually; even in an emergency. This research aims to examine the factors that influence employeesโ e-learning readiness in the organization. This study examined the influence of eight factors of perception; attitude; motivation; knowledge sharing practices; management support; technology access; technological competencies; and content readiness on e-learning readiness in a Company Head Office in Yangon. In this mixed-method research; only operational employees and managers participated in an online survey. The seventy-five employees responded to the 5-point Likert scale questionnaire with open-ended questions. The quantitative data analysis consisted of Cronbachโs Alpha Reliability Test; descriptive analysis; inferential analysis. Content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. The results indicated that perception with p value less than 0.05 (p value) = 0.000<0.05 and technological competencies with p value less than 0.05 (p value) = 0.024<0.05 have significant influence on the e- learning readiness. The qualitative data highlights technology access; technological competencies; perception; attitude; and motivation at the personal level; technology access; technological competencies; knowledge sharing practices and management support at team or departmental level; and content readiness at the organizational level to improve e-learning readiness. According to the overall results; the employeesโ current e-learning readiness level is in a good situation although there are some areas to develop for better engagement of employees in the e-learning implementation process. In conclusion; strategies and recommendations are: 1) to provide more technological supports in terms of devices and learning space; 2) to provide more departmental trainings and team collaborations through online; 3) to have strategic plans for e-learning whether it is departmental or for the whole organization; and 4) to utilize interesting and effective contents for employees. |
