Presenting a causal model of the influential factors in applying continuous electronic on-the-job training in the leasing employees of Bank Mellat

The present study aimed to investigate the factors influencing applying continuous electronic on-the-job training in the leasing employees of Bank Mellat, Iran. This correlational study was conducted on a sample population consisting of all the leasing employees of Bank Mellat. Given the limited sample population, census sampling was used, and all the leasing employees of Bank Mellat (n=۱۵۵) were selected. Various instruments were used to measure the research variables, including the electronic job training questionnaire by Fagan et al. (۲۰۰۴), the quantum management skills questionnaire by Altafi (۲۰۱۱), the facilitating conditions questionnaire by Raleting and Nel (۲۰۱۱), the knowledge sharing questionnaire by van den Hof and van Vinen (۲۰۰۴), the computer self-efficacy questionnaire by Wolters and Daugherty (۲۰۰۷), the organizational intelligence profile by Albrecht (۲۰۰۳), the questionnaire of perceived usefulness by Teo et al. (۲۰۰۷), the survey of technology use experience by Fagan et al. (۲۰۰۴), and the organizational culture questionnaire by Gaffy and Jones (۱۹۹۶). The findings indicated that among the direct effects, the most significant direct effect was exerted by the conditions of technology use on perceived usefulness (۰.۳۲), whereas the least significant direct effect was exerted by quantum skills on knowledge sharing (۰.۱۵), as well as the effect of knowledge sharing on applying continuous electronic on-the-job training (۰.۱۵). Further, the most significant indirect effect was exerted by facilitating conditions on applying continuous electronic on-the-job training (۰.۰۹), and the least significant indirect effect was exerted by organizational intelligence on applying continuous electronic on-the-job training (۰.۰۳), as well as the effect of experience in using technology on perceived usefulness (۰.۰۳). Finally, the least significant total effect was exerted by experience in using technology on perceived usefulness (۰.۰۳), and the most significant total effect was exerted by the conditions of using technology on perceived usefulness (۰.۳۲).
