Abstract

Taking an integrated view of end-user training is an increasing trend in the IS literature. A number of conceptual frameworks have been proposed in the recent years. Yet, few have been evaluated empirically or put into practice. In this paper, we report how we evaluated one such framework while simultaneously evaluating the training strategy in an organization. This paper complements an earlier evaluation of another aspect of the same framework. As in the previous paper, we conclude that the framework is useful to evaluate organizational training efforts. At the same time, we discover shortcomings of the framework itself. We discuss these deficiencies and propose how the framework can be improved.
