The Effectiveness of E-Learning Safety Education on Safety Behavior from the Perspective of Protection Motivation Theory: A Conceptual Approach

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of E-Learning Safety Education on Safety Behavior from the perspective of Protection Motivation Theory. Several Effective E-Learning Safety Education antecedents, such as E-Learning format characteristics, technology characteristics, and instructor- and learner-related factors, are proposed, with implications for safety behavior. The relationship between these characteristics and safety behavior designs is observed within the Protection Motivation Theory framework that deals with threat and coping appraisal with the implication of improved Safety Behavior. A proposed theoretical framework could provide insight into E-Learning's potential to enhance safety behavior across different sectors.
