International Business Research, 2017, vol. 10, issue 4, 42-57

Abstract: This paper is to emphasize the factors that aid e-training adoption in the developing country like Jordan. This paper is based on past review literature databases. The literature recognized the role of computer self-efficacy, availability of resources and perceived support in e-training adoption. This paper using the technology acceptance model (TAM) for modelling framework and explained the importance of these variables in e-training adoption in developing country context. The author found that the combined role of computer self-efficacy, technological infrastructure, Internet facilities and technical support is critical for e-training adoption in developing countries, particularly in Jordan. Thus, the authors proposed the combination of these variables which would encourage future research on the use of TAM in technology adoption. Research limitations/implications – This paper gives an elaboration of the role of computer self-efficacy, perceived cost, availability of resources and perceived support with TAM as base of the framework. This provides researchers the opportunity to test the proposed framework empirically and further suggest other variables that can aid e-training adoption in the context of developing country. Practical implications – The result of this paper can serve as a guide to managers and policymakers to have a better understanding of the requirements for e-training adoption, especially in developing countries. This will go a long way towards designing good policies that could maximise e-training results.
