In this respect, applying the web-based training system will enable organizations to train their employees quickly and effectively anywhere at any time.

A total of 290 employees participated in this study. The findings of the study revealed that performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, social influence and system flexibility have direct effect on the employees’ intention to use the web-based training system, while effort expectancy, system enjoyment and system interactivity have indirect effect on employees’ intention to use the system.
