Study goals
The objective of this study is to determine the antecedents of Learning Management System (LMS) use in companies, from the perspective of Corporate Education professionals engaged in remote training programs.
Relevance / originality
The study addresses the use of LMS in corporate education, a topic scarcely explored in literature, through a qualitative approach, which is also less common, to identify specific elements of the DeLone and McLean model within the corporate context.
Methodology / approach
The study employed a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with four Corporate Education specialists. Transcripts were analyzed through content analysis, using structural coding to identify components of the system, information, and support quality constructs in the corporate context.
Main results
The study identifies specific traits of the exogenous constructs of the DeLone and McLean model in the context of LMS use in corporate environments: system quality (compatibility and interoperability), information quality (customization and reporting), and support quality (service levels).
Theoretical / methodological contributions
The study adapts the DeLone and McLean model to the corporate context and identifies specific traits of its constructs. It also lays the groundwork for the development of scales for future quantitative research on LMS use in Corporate Education.
Social / management contributions
The study identified needs such as technological compatibility, efficient support, flexibility and content customization for the successful use of LMS in Corporate Education.
