Employee characteristics and their value perceptions about web-based B2E systems use in Bangladesh

Business-to-Employees (B2E) systems represent a new breed of web-enabled eBusiness application that helps develop productive and committed workforce. However, even though eBusiness technology vendors advocate that enormous values organisations and their employees can gain from the introduction of B2E systems, no systematic empirical study is yet reported from employees' viewpoint in particular for the developing countries' context. Furthermore, as value perceptions are not formed in isolation, there is a need to evaluate how employees' value perceptions about B2E systems are influenced by their demographic and attitudinal characteristics. We thus report the value perceptions of 109 employees from 2 telecommunication companies located in Bangladesh, and highlight that except attitudes, popular demographic characteristics of employees are not related to their value perceptions. The implications of these findings are discussed.
