FACTORIAL VALIDATION OF SATISFACTION WITH HEC DATABASES: EVIDENCE FROM A PAKISTANI UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This study validates the effects of four predictors on teaching faculty satisfaction with digital databases at the University of Peshawar. Using a quantitative survey approach with randomly selected participants, data were collected via a validated questionnaire. Four hypotheses were tested through regression analysis using SPSS. All hypotheses were supported, demonstrating significant impacts of the predictors on faculty satisfaction. Among them, perceived usefulness emerged as the strongest determinant of satisfaction. This is the first empirical study examining these constructs within the University of Peshawar context, offering valuable insights for enhancing digital database services.
