- The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between participants¡¦ satisfaction with and motivation to attend the Business Training Network (BTN) e-training courses in 2004 in Taiwan. A BTN-developed e-survey questionnaire was used to collect data on participants¡¦ satisfaction level, motivation factors for attending the BTN e-training, and demographic variables. Seven hundred six (706) participants responded to the BTN e-learning e-survey. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and Chi-square analysis methods were employed to analyze the relationships between the participants¡¦ satisfaction with and motivation to gain job training while attending the BTN e-training, and their opinions of the BTN e-course content, by age, gender, education level, position, employment status, industrial category, and frequency of attendance. The study results revealed that the participants¡¦ satisfaction with the BTN e-training was significantly related to their age and frequency of attendance; the participants¡¦ top three motivation factors for attending the BTN e-training were significantly related to age, industrial category, employment status, position, and frequency of attendance of BTN e-training courses; and the participants¡¦ opinions about the BTN e-training courses showed that younger participants and those with less than four years of college were most likely to disagree with the BTN e-training course content. A brief discussion of implications and suggestions for future research are provided.
