There is a paradigm shift in the way organisations impart training and development to its employees with the advent of e-learning system. The study aimed to understand the role  of perceived ease of use, perceived use and self efficacy in determining the continuous usage of an e-learning system among employees of  software companies. The study also tried to understand the mediating role of learner satisfaction and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between perceived ease of use, perceived use and continuous usage intention. The data was collecyed from 250 employees in the Information Technology Industry, who had done atleast a course in the e-learning platform. The results show that the relation between perceived usefulness and behavioural intention, perceived ease of use and behavioural intention and self efficacy and behavioural intention are all mediated by e-learner satisfaction. This implies e-learner satisfaction has to be enhanced if the continuous usage intention is to be improved.
