Abstract

Electronic readiness is an important issue in developing organizational e-learning. It focuses on organizational capabilities and capacities to use electronic resources in the learning process. Organizational culture is an important factor in successful e-learning readiness. This research is aimed to evaluate the impacts of organizational culture on e-learning readiness. A sample of 68 questionnaires consisting of both culture and readiness questions was analyzed. To test the research hypothesis, a Beta coefficient test was used. Research results indicate a significant positive impact of clan and adhocracy cultures on e-learning readiness. It also found that market culture has a negative impact on e-learning readiness, while findings cannot justify a relationship between hierarchy culture and e-learning readiness.
