With the rapid change in working environment, there is a need to implement e-learning systems but their adoption requires a fully understanding of the user acceptance processes. Our mainly effort is to integrate two constructs, perceived flexibility and computer self-efficacy, to examine the applicability of the technology acceptance model (TAM) in explaining employees\' decisions to accept e-learning. Based on a sample of 233 employees taken from 16 high-tech companies at Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, the results significantly support the extended TAM in predicting employees\' behavioral intention to use e-learning.

High-tech companies encounter intense competition in today's global economy. With rapid changes in working environments, high-tech employees must learn quickly and effectively to solve difficult problems and increase their productivity. Many large high-tech companies have recently implemented electronic learning (e-learning) for employee training. However, e-learning systems are expensive and often underutilised. Therefore, understanding the factors associated with acceptance to e-learning are of priority concern. By integrating locus of control, computer self-efficacy and technology acceptance model (TAM) into one model, this study examines the feasibility of the extended TAM to explain employee acceptance of e-learning systems. Data were collected from 223 employees at five high-tech companies located in the Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. Analytical results indicate that locus of control had significant direct effects on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Computer self-efficacy had significant direct effects on perceived ease of use and behavioural intention to use. Overall, analytical results provide strong support for using the extended TAM to explain user acceptance of e-learning systems. The research and practical implications of findings are discussed.

E-learning systems implementation is costly and has a relatively low success rate. There still needs to better understand how human factor such as personality will relate e-learning system acceptance and use. Therefore, the goal of the research is to broaden the TAM model which would include variables related to human factor. Thus, our mainly effort is to integrate internal locus of control (ILOC) and computer self-efficacy (CSE), to examine the applicability of the technology acceptance model (TAM in explaining employees\' decisions to accept e-learning system. Based on a sample of 204 employees taken from 12 high-tech companies in Taiwan, the results strongly support the extended TAM in predicting employees\' behavioral intention to use e-learning.
