“…According to Venkatesh and Speier (2000), enjoyment can be considered a type of intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the pursuit of an activity due to a genuine interest or positive feelings associated with the activity (Deci, Koestner, & Ryan, 1999).…”

Together, the fields of education and information technology have identified the need for an online solution to training. The introduction of e-learning has optimised the learning process, allowing organisations to realise the many advantages that e-learning offers. The importance of user involvement in the success of e-learning makes it imperative that the forces driving intention to use e-learning and satisfaction thereof be determined. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationships between the metrics influencing intention to use and the satisfaction of using e-learning in companies.The results of a survey distributed amongst a South African software development company's customer base revealed that the 94 respondents have positive enjoyment and self-efficacy levels, and low computer anxiety levels. Correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between enjoyment and self-efficacy and between enjoyment and satisfaction. Companies should therefore ensure that users enjoy using e-learning as it can directly influence satisfaction and self-efficacy.

“…Because the employees are more satisfied and their morale is increased, they are more unlikely to be searching for another job -organisations experience lower turnover rate; according to Dash, employee fluctuation can decrease by 50-80% when teleworking is introduced (Dash, 1999). Besides, organisations have 'the ability to access a broader pool of employees as the geographic tie to an "office" are diminished' (Venkatesh & Speier, 2000). Furthermore, organizations 'real estate costs can be cut because of the reduced office space requirements' (Nilles, 1998).…”

Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, how we learn, how we work and spend free time, in essence -it has more or less changed every aspect of human society one can think of. This paper deals with the influence of Internet and information technology on work and human resource management. It observes main novelties and (inevitably coming) changes in areas of staffing, motivating and leading and discusses possible adaptations of organization and business. To discover the mentioned changes and consequences, firstly we try to broadly assert present condition in the field, both globally and in Slovenia, and outline promising future trends. Finally, combining that with elements of humanresource management we try to predict basic consequences that IT will have on the way employees are rewarded and the way new employees are acquired.

“…Moreover, several IS dominant theories (e.g., Davis' 1989 Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Doll and Torkzadeh's 1991 user participation/involvement model; quoted in Chin et al, 2003, p. 192) as well as the streams of research that have extended these models (e.g., Barki et al, 2007;Bhattacherjee & Sanford, 2006;Brown et al, 2010;Carswell & Venkatesh, 2002;Chin et al, 2008;Davis & Venkatesh, 2004;Devaraj et al, 2008;Hartwick & Barki, 1994;Karahanna et al, 2006;Limayem et al, 2007;Morris & Venkatesh, 2010;Venkatesh & Davis, 2000;Venkatesh & Speier, 1999;Venkatesh & Speier, 2000;Venkatesh & Johnson, 2002;Venkatesh et al, 2003;Venkatesh et al, 2008) suggest that moderator variables are an important avenue of future development. Furthermore, numerous researchers within the IS field have suggested that models using moderator variables be tested (Anderson, 1985, Doll & Torkzadeh, 1989, Ives & Olson, 1984, McKeen et al, 1994, Sambamurthy & Zmud, 1999, Tait & Vessey, 1988; quoted in Chin et al, 2003, p. 192;Barki et al, 2007;Brown et al, 2010) as have researchers in other fields (Chin et al, 2003).…”

AcknowledgementsThere is a great deal of work to coordinate and administer all of the activities of the Atlantic Schools of Business Conference. In particular, the coordination of activities from the call for papers to the acceptance process is very extensive. We would like to thank the many people involved to help us with this central aspect of the conference. Thanks to Ms. Amanda Strongman who took on the initiative and perseverance to automate the paper submission process using Easy Chair this year. The use of this tool provided many insights from an organizing perspective that were invaluable. We would also like to thank the track chairs (see next section for a track chair list) who provided timely and helpful feedback about how to improve the process and managed the review process for the papers submitted to their tracks. Their commitment to getting reviews for all papers and providing feedback to authors involved an immense amount of work which we are thankful they took on. Finally, we would like to thank all the reviewers who took the time to review papers in their area of expertise and offer constructive feedback to authors to help improve their work. This process relies on volunteers from across the region. We are grateful that the spirit of academic development and achievement is alive and well! Your contributions in this area make the ASB conference possible! Sincerely, Wendy R.

Its impact dramatically reached the top echelons of the United Nations when UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan proposed The Global Compact at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland in 1999 (Bitanga and Bridwell, 2010). The Global Compact has grown to encompass more than 8,700 corporate participants and others stakeholders, including over 7,700 businesses in 130 countries around the world (United Nations Global Compact, 2011a).The UN Global Compact is a voluntary initiative that relies on public accountability, transparency, and enlightened corporate self-interest. The basic idea is that the voluntary involvement of companies in the areas of human rights, labor rights, environmental degradation, and anti-corruption can encourage private innovation and concern within these areas in a manner that regulation has been unable to adequately achieve, thereby hastening the emergence of a more sustainable and just future (Kell and Levin, 2002).The benefits for companies voluntarily affiliating with the UN Global Compact have been little documented from an empirical perspective. A survey by Cetindamar and Husoy (2007) documented the motivations of some firms for adherin...
