Abstract：The purpose of this study was to develop a self-reported measure of instructor satisfaction within the context of teaching in the online environment and to validate the instrument’s psychometric properties. Upon conducting an expert panel review and pilot study, the instrument was administered to 168 instructors who taught courses in the online environment at a large, public western university. Results of an exploratory factor analysis confirmed a hypothesized five-factor model: Instructor-to-Student Interaction, Affordances, Institutional Support, Student to- Student Interaction, and Course Design/Development/Teaching. The 27-item Online Instructor Satisfaction Measure (OISM) proved to be psychometrically sound with good factor structure and high internal reliability coefficients for the instrument and its subscales.

Key words：Higher education, Faculty satisfaction, Online teaching, Online course, Factor analysis

总  结：一些局限性需要指出的。所有的数据是自我报告；因此，规模的感知水平的措施教师满意度。样本包括教师在利用一个单一的大学课程管理系统。本研究是在地理上的限制，因此，结果应谨慎解释，因为他们可能不适用于教师利用不同的输送系统。在未来，研究人员可能包括多个数据采集点或机构提供教师一个选择的课程管理系统。规模可用于调查在不同的设置，如在线教师，中小学，社区学院，私立大学，或商业和工业。规模可能也是对教师教混合满意度评估有用设置和综合相结合的运载工具。
