Employee Attitudes Towards Ubiquitous Library-Supported Professional Learning: An Empirical Investigation Into the Beauty Spa Industry

This study aimed to explore the influencing factors of employees’ attitudes towards ubiquitous library-supported professional learning (AULPL) when they adopted the ubiquitous library in the workplace. A total of 164 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed to examine the effects of the employees’ job characteristics and self-regulated learning on their attitudes towards ubiquitous library-supported professional learning. The results indicate that the employees’ job characteristics (i.e., job control and social support) and self-regulated learning can predict their attitudes towards ubiquitous library-supported professional learning. In addition, self-regulated learning acted as a mediator between job characteristics and AULPL. Basic self-regulated learning mediates the relationships between job control in job characteristics and perceived usefulness for AULPL. Advanced self-regulated learning mediates the relationship between job control in job characteristics and AULPL (i.e., perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, affection, behavior).
