Evaluating Students' E-Learning Satisfaction in English Studies Based on UTAUT

Abstract

This study assesses factors affecting students’ satisfaction with E-learning for English study based on unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The sample data collected from 338 students in Zhaoqing University in China have been analyzed using structural equation modelling. The results reveal that facilitating conditions, performance expectancy and hedonic motivation have significant and positive impact on behavioural intention, but social influence and effort expectancy are not directly and significantly related to behavioral intention. Furthermore, behavioral intention, facilitating conditions and hedonic motivation directly correlate with students’ satisfaction with E-learning for English study. Performance expectancy indirectly influence students’ satisfaction mediated by behavioral intention. The six constructs of performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, facilitating conditions, effort expectancy, social influence, and behavioural intention account for 65.6 % of the total variance in Chinese students’ satisfaction with E-learning for English study.
