Abstract
The aim of this paper is to survey the role of virtual and e-learning in Blusher City High school Teachers' knowledge learning and promoting to improve organizational decision-making. Data was collected from 132 teachers (40 female and 92 male ones) working in Blusher City high schools. A researcher-structured questionnaire containing 36 questions and having an acceptable reliability (α=0.82) was applied to measure the data and a descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency, percent, Standard Deviation, multiple regression, Chi Square were used to analyse the collected data. Findings showed that there would be a positively significant relationship between virtual and e-learning and the teachers' accuracy of decision-making, appropriateness of decision-making and on-time decision-making.
