Distance education students’ satisfaction: Do work and family roles matter?

The perceived flexibility of distance education, whereby students can juggle their multiple life roles, is often cited as the predominant reason for enrolling in this mode of study. This study (1) explores whether the paid worker role or family role predict distance learners’ satisfaction; (2) examines the relationship between role conflict and role facilitation regarding distance learners’ satisfaction; and (3) investigates the role of sociodemographic characteristics as potential moderators in this relationship.
