This image shows the hypotheses of the factors that influence instructor satisfaction.


Hypothesis testing: User Satisfaction Evaluation Model (USEM)

- User Satisfaction Model used to test hypotheses.
- Measurement instruments: pilot test and professional review
- Data collection: questionnaire
- Data analysis: used SPSS 17 and SEM AMOS 18.
- Participants: 110 instructors who teach 100% online or hybrid. 
- Demographic information: 51.8% female and 48.2% male of total sample size. 
60% lecturer in distance learning course. 26.4% of instructors had 3-7 years of experience with LM, 19.1% less than one year experience in LMS, 14.5% more than 10 years

Research methodology: instructor satisfaction in distance learning 

The results suggest that all hypotheses have a statistically significant effect on instructor satisfaction EXCEPT for Perceived Ease of Use. 
- The critical ratio (C.R) was used which is a coefficient divided by the critical error.
- The lowest C.R is H4: 0.441, which is not a significant p value: 0.659.
- The highest C.R is H5: 3.96, which means that Perceived Usefulness is the highest affecting factor on instructor satisfaction on using LMS in distance education.
