Keywords:
E-Learning, Student Satisfaction, University Brand Image, Marketing Innovation, Covid-19Abstract
This research aims to determining factors affecting students’ satisfaction on e-learning and university brand image during covid-19 pandemic in the top ten private universities in Yangon, Myanmar. Population and sample size are 500 students who have been experiencing e-learning at least one semester at the top ten private universities in Yangon, Myanmar. The sample techniques used were judgmental, quota, convenience and snowball sampling. Before collecting the data, the results of index of item objective congruence (IOC) and Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 50 samples were reserved. After the data collection, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) approach were used to measure data’s validity, reliability and goodness of fit. The results showed that student satisfaction was affected by e-learning system quality, e-learning instructor and course materials quality, administrative and support service quality, and marketing innovation towards university brand image. In contrary, information quality and interaction in e-learning environment had no effect on student satisfaction. Academic practitioners and universities can promote advantages of e-learning system to create better students’ satisfaction and ensure the good image of the university.
