Abstract

This research aims to provide valuable insights into the initial learning step — self-study materials formation. Nowadays, in a competitive environment, companies seek to identify the outstanding processes for the employee development. Therefore, this research identifies various factors and formats critical in the early phases of employee learning path. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, the study addresses two primary areas. The first is exploring technologies utilization within self-study materials and their helpfulness at the same time. The following area is focused on the motivational and engagement factors that positively influence learners’ attitudes toward the development process. The research findings confirm that preparation of self-study materials is crucial for the subsequent learning path formation. The research is emphasizing the importance of clear learning objectives, interactive content, and a balanced use of diverse formats. Organizations can enhance their training programs by addressing of these key factors. Hence, current learning and development managers can practically utilize outputs from this research to lead more effective work-based learning processes within their organization. © (2025), (UIKTEN - Association for Information Communication Technology Education and Science).
