An Efficacious Measurement of Learning Initiatives: E-Learning Systems,Learning-Organization Culture,Knowledge Creation,and Innovativeness.
文摘
The purpose of this research is twofold: (a) develop a validated measure for learning initiatives based on knowledge-creation theory and (b) conduct a quantitative study to investigate the relationships between electronic learning systems,learning-organization culture,efficacious knowledge creation (EKC),and innovativeness. Although Cheng-Chang Sivo,Gunter,and Cornell (2005) and Y.-S. Wang,Wang,and Shee (2007) made initial attempts to valuate e-learning systems success,they failed to take into account performance-based measures,the cultural construct,and other related determinants. Based on Nonaka and Takeuchi's (1995) knowledge-creation phases and Oh's (2001) and Song's (2008) actionable knowledge-creation research,this study tests EKC processes and,ultimately,innovativeness as the principal performance-based outcomes of e-learning systems. Using the knowledge-creation phases proposed by Nonaka and Takeuchi as a guide,the five dimensions of the EKC instrument are actionable learning,autonomous participation,collaborative participation,engagement,and equivalency.
