The purpose of the current study is to examine the role of external influences (i.e. E- environment and Technology-Internet-Quality) associated with individual’s psychological influences (i.e. Learning Orientation, Learning Motives, Perceived-Ease-of-Use and Perceived- Usefulness) and customer satisfaction. Basically, study identifies the environmental, technological and psychological perspectives in the development/creation of particular of consumer’s response behaviors through the cognitive process in the context of e-learning. Current study was based on descriptive and causal research design. Data was collected from a sample of 1,338 customer / students of e-learning (from three universities providing E- learning education) through convenient sampling. Hence, responses were analyzed using structural equation modeling through AMOS 22. The results suggest that customers’ e-environmental, technological and psychological influences play a significant role in the development of customer satisfaction as well as subjective well-being. In comprehensive manner, the finding indicates that ‘E-environment (i.e. Self-Paced Learning Environment and Instructor-Led Learning Environment)’ and ‘Technology factors (i.e. Technology Quality and Internet Quality)’ have positive impact on individual’s psychological influences (i.e. Learning Orientation, Learning Motives, Perceived-Ease-of-Use and Perceived- Usefulness) and which ultimately determine customer’s satisfaction and his/her subjective wellbeing. Finally, the overall results of the current study contribute in building a rigor of social cognitive theory and consumer planned behavior theory in the context of e-learning. The study, adds significant value to the literature in three ways: first, it provides comprehensive discussion on e-learning construct and also the role of motivational forces in the ixformation of customer satisfaction as well as his/her subjective well-being from two perspectives i.e. external influence (e-environment and technology elements) and internal influence (psychological elements). Second, Stimulus-Organism-Response framework is used to conceptualize and propose that an individual’s external influences affect the psychological influences, thus leading to the development of response behavior. Third, conceptual framework is based on the integration of two disciplines in the formation of individual ‘behavior i.e. ‘consumer behavior’ (Stimulus-Organism-Response Model) and Information Technology (Technology Acceptance Model). Basically, this framework is used to test and verification of the individual’s planned behavior theory derived from individual psychology, social psychology and IT. According to consumer’s cognitive process, it is established that customer’s e-environmental, and technological factors have significant impact on psychological characteristics which ultimately effects his/her response behaviors. This study would be helpful in making good relationships with customers/students to improve their learning skills and enhance learning motives. To the knowledge of the researcher, the study of customer satisfaction and subjective well-being simultaneously in individual’s psychology, consumer behavior studies and technology contexts is almost ignored. Neither has it been studied quantitatively. Thus, the current study also intends to fill these gaps and contributes to the existing literature on these issues besides improving the understanding of the academicians, policy makers, universities’ management, psychologists, behaviorists, IT experts and marketers regarding these major issues working behind e-learning implementation.

غزل

 

لمس کی پوروں پہ تھی جو حکمرانی بیچ دی،

آج اس کی آخری ہم نے نشانی بیچ دی۔

 

ہم نے قصداً اپنے غم سے بے خبر رکھا تمہیں،

جو تمہارے تک پہنچتی وہ کہانی بیچ دی۔

 

لے کے جاتی تھی ہمیں اجداد کی قبروں پہ جو،

ہم نے گاؤں کی وہ پگڈنڈی پرانی بیچ دی۔

 

اب تم آؤ گے تو ہر جذبہ ملے گا منجمد،

ہم نے دریائے محبت کی روانی بیچ دی۔

 

کون ہوتا زیر بارِ کاغذ و دست و قلم،

واردات-قلب و جاں ہم نے زبانی بیچ دی۔

 

کر گئ خوشبو بھی آخر سارے رشتے کالعدم،

ہم نے جب وہ موتیا، وہ رات رانی بیچ دی۔

 

اب کہاں مہمان بن کے ہم رہیں طاہر وحید،

اہل دل نے اپنے دل کی راجدھانی بیچ دی

Autobiographies of Two Female Educational Leaders: A Case from Pakistan

The educational leadership has been studied extensively over a period of time both empirically and theoretically. The growing number of literature advocates the practices of educational leadership in different contexts and it is much explored area through qualitative case studies method, but the practices of female leadership through self-study within the qualitative paradigm is relatively less explored. Therefore, this study explores the professional practices of two Female Assistant District Educational Officers in Pakistani context through auto/biographical approach within self-study method by conducting semi-structure interviews and document analysis. The primary research participants are researcher herself from the rural area of NWFP and another female from education department of Sindh based on purposive sampling. The purpose of the study is to explore how female educational leaders develop their leadership practices despite the context specific challenges. It also aims to share the leadership practices of the female educational leaders with educational community in order to highlight the true voices and experiences in terms of challenges and possibilities faced by them. The study informs the policy makers to look at the matter of professional development of administrative staff, for addressing the contextual issues, which leads towards the effectiveness of the organization. It may be a guiding principle for educational leaders to critically reflect and examine their leadership practices irrespective of gender. The study recommends the leadership component in school curriculum in order to explore their leadership potentials. It also recommends the parental education as a part of school development plans in order to aware the parents regarding their children's leadership qualities. The study reports that the leadership practices can be developed through contextualizing the formal roles into action. Female educational leaders have little support from the socio-cultural context, but family and their individual efforts playa vital role for the development of their leadership practices. Leaders can develop their leadership practices through continuous professional development and planning in the organization. The study also challenges the beliefs and stereotype assumptions towards female educational leadership. The study reveals that mostly leadership remains contextual and depends on the personal abilities and practices of leaders, no matter the leader is male or female.
