Paper Abstract:
|
This research presents a systematic literature review (SLR) investigating motivational factors that drive employees to
engage in continuing education and derives design implications for recommender systems (RS). Following PRISMA
guidelines, 11 empirical studies published between 2010 and 2025 were analyzed using qualitative content analysis
grounded in Self-Determination Theory. Findings reveal that intrinsic motivationssuch as personal professional
development and skill acquisitionare predominant, while extrinsic motivations (e.g., employer requirements) also play a
role. Based on these insights, three design implications for RS are proposed: support for self-regulated exploration, accuracy
for mandatory learning contexts, and explanation features for career-oriented users. These findings contribute to the
user-centered design of continuing education RS by aligning recommendations with learners' motivations, potentially
increasing system usefulness, user satisfaction, and reuse intention. |
