The study aims to explore the willingness of Navy workforce to persistently use the Naval E-Learning Platform (NELP) to improve their domain knowledge and work efficiency. Based on the theory of Technology Acceptance Model 2(TAM2), a hypothetical research model is proposed to implement the research intentions and ideas. In the proposed model, the antecedents of willingness to use NEPL are perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are in turns affected by factors of subjective norm, job relevance, and information quality. To empirical test the proposed model, the study follows the conventional research guidelines including random sampling and well-developed questionnaire to verify the research intentions. A number of 200 questionnaires was distributed to a random sample composed by the Navy workforce in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and the responses of the random selected samples was 172. The analytical results of this research show that the factor of subjective norm has no direct impacts to factor of willingness to use persistently and to factor of perceived usefulness. However, the factors of job relevance and information quality have direct impacts to the willingness of Navy workforce to persistently use the NELP. The study also found that the persistent use of NEPL by the Navy workforce would increase their work efficiency.
