Abstract

There have been many changes to information systems in the last decade. Changes in information systems require users to constantly update their computer knowledge and skills. Computer training is a critical issue for any user because it offers great capabilities for the users. The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of subjective computer training and management support on computer attitude, computer anxiety, and subjective norms to use computers. The data was collected from community health centers staff. The results of the study showed that trained health staff as computer users had more favorable attitude, less computer anxiety, and more attention to others expectation (managers and policies of organizations) to use computers than untrained users. However, there were no relationships between management support on computer attitude, computer anxiety, and subjective norms. Lack of computer training of the majority of the health staff confirmed the need for more attention to this issue special in health centers.
