“Exploring the Influence of User-Related Factors on Learning Management System Effectiveness: A Psychological Perspective"

Abstract

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are integral to modern education, yet their effectiveness can vary widely among users. This study examines the influence of user-related factors on LMS effectiveness from a psychological perspective. A sample of 277 students participated in the study, which investigated the impact of user self-efficacy, student learning style, faculty teaching style, perceived usefulness, user enjoyment, and user-implemented fairness on LMS effectiveness. The study hypothesized that user self-efficacy, student learning style, faculty teaching style, perceived usefulness, user enjoyment, and user-implemented fairness would positively influence LMS effectiveness. Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using SEM analysis. Results indicate that user self-efficacy, student learning style, faculty teaching style, perceived usefulness, user enjoyment, and user-implemented fairness are significant predictors of LMS effectiveness. These findings suggest that addressing these user-related factors can enhance the overall effectiveness of LMS.
