The current research seeks to study effective factors on banks’ attitudes towards holding blended learning courses. After developing the e-learning, the new form of learning environments has been formed that organizations are leading to maintain these environments to blend the traditional and e-learning capacities in order to blend techniques and abilities of learning and e-learning. Statistical population included 27 private and public banks in which two public (Meli and Tejarat Banks) and two private banks (Parsian and Pasargad Banks) have been chosen by cluster sampling. Then among staff of four banks, 285 respondents have been chosen. The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire and its validity was confirmed by ten e-learning scholars and academicians and also its reliability was estimated 0.82 after performing among 55 samples. Factor analysis shows that five following factors explain 40.427 percent of all variations of factors respectively: the structural and organizational factors, the difficulties in producing the e-material, the inability in reaching the qualified e- content, the special advantages of blended learning environments and lack of enough knowledge and skills. In addition, for determining the amount of the fitting of the recognized coefficient AMOS program was used which shows the propriety of the recognized factors for the determined criteria.

The purpose of this research was to examine the role of blended learning on human resource development in Payam Noor University (PNU). This study used a descriptive survey design. The population consisted of 3700 PNU faculty members in 2017-2018. Using stratified sampling and based on Krejcie and Morgan’s table, 302 faculty members were selected as the sample. The data were collected using two questionnaires: the Blended Learning Questionnaire with five subscales (i.e., pedagogy, methodology, technology, learning styles, and organizational strategy), 40 items, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.903; the Human Resource Development Questionnaire with five subscales (i.e., knowledge, attitude, skill, critical thinking, and job satisfaction), 39 items, and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.893. The hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation modeling were used by SPSS 21 to analyze the data. The results showed that blended learning has a significant effect on all the dimensions of human resource development at the 0.05 significance level: knowledge (0.573), attitude (0.510), job satisfaction (0.362), critical thinking (0.351), and skill (0.241). Several fitness indicators suggested that the model fit the data well (𝜒2/𝑑𝑓 = 1.05; GFI = 0.97; AGFI = 0.93; RMSEA = 0.0029; critical value = 0.38321). Thus, there was a causal relationship between blended learning and human resource development. Manuscript profile
