Abstract
Background and Study Aim: This study investigates digital transformation initiatives within the
Directorate of Youth and Sports in Algeria, assessing the associated challenges and benefits.
Focused on a sample of 70 male employees, the research aims to provide insights into the impact of
digital tools on operational efficiency and service delivery in the youth and sports sector.
Material and Methods: A qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed, starting with
an exploratory study involving a random sample of 10 employees to gather foundational insights. A
structured questionnaire, comprised of 44 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale, was designed to
evaluate employees' attitudes towards electronic platforms and identify obstacles faced in e
learning. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were confirmed, with Cronbach's alpha
coefficients indicating strong internal consistency across all dimensions. Data collection involved
securing consent from participants and distributing the questionnaire electronically.
Results: The analysis revealed a predominantly positive attitude towards the use of electronic
platforms, with an overall mean score of 3.68. High mean scores were recorded for individual
items, indicating strong agreement among participants. Regarding challenges, the highest mean
score of 4.08 was noted for e-learning conditions, while areas such as training effectiveness and
interactivity were identified as needing improvement, with respective mean scores of 3.60 and 3.54.
Conclusions: The findings highlight a generally positive perception of electronic platforms among
employees, reflecting their recognition of the benefits offered by digital tools. However, the
identified challenges in training effectiveness and interactivity suggest critical areas for
enhancement to boost employee engagement in e-learning, ultimately contributing to improved
service delivery in the youth and sports sector.
