E-learning, Employee Competence, Digital EraAbstract
The development of digital technology has encouraged organizations to adopt e-learning as a more flexible, efficient, and accessible method for developing employee competencies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of e-learning in improving employee competencies in the digital era. The analysis was conducted by examining various aspects, such as ease of learning access, material quality, employee participation levels, and their impact on improving knowledge and work skills. The results showed that management support and policies have a positive and significant effect on learning motivation. In addition, the quality of e-learning materials and learning motivation were shown to have a positive and significant effect on e-learning effectiveness. Implementation barriers were shown to have a negative and significant effect on e-learning effectiveness, while e-learning methods were not shown to have a significant effect on either e-learning effectiveness or learning motivation. This study also showed that learning motivation was able to mediate the relationship between management support and policies on e-learning effectiveness, but was unable to significantly mediate the relationship between other independent variables.
