As the demand for higher education rises, together with budgetary pressures on the education sector, advances that improve teaching efficiency have been sought. This paper reports on research investigating the impact of availability of e-resources on part time teachers’ job satisfaction in Hong Kong self finance institutions. The part time teachers’ views on e-resources and their job satisfaction will be examined by conducting in-depth discussion. Furthermore, it was expected to find that there were differences in job satisfaction between different extents of availability of e-resources for part time teachers. In other words, the existence of causal relationships between the availability of e-resources and job satisfaction of part time teachers was also explored. Information on part time teachers’ conceptions and approaches was collected through in-depth discussion and job satisfaction was used as an indicator to reflect the importance of e-resources in education.enconference proceedings10.1007/978-3-662-48978-9_18
