Furthermore,the variable of perceived support is included in this paper but with the dimension of organisational support, technical support and government support. The present study departs from previous studies (which employed the construct individually) by examining the combination of the three dimensions collectively. This is important because the three dimensions are very relevant to the study in Nigeria where the culture, environment and mindset of the people are that in which any new development introduced is looked at with suspicion. Even when potential users believe that a given application is useful, they may at the same time believe that the system is too hard to use.The performance benefits of usage are out weighed by the effort of using the application, in which case, usage is theorised to be influenced by perceived ease of use (PEOU) (Agarwal and Prasad, 1999). However, in the Nigerian setting, support of any form (organisational support,technical support or government support) is likely to motivate the adoption and acceptance of e-training in the Nigerian civil service.
