Popis: In 2020, institutions had to shift to online education because of the health issues raised globally. Since online education is a complex process, the needs and expectations of instructors also show differences. However, the number of studies focused on English language instructors’ job satisfaction is limited. Therefore, this study aims to find out online instructors’ job satisfaction related to gender, years of teaching experience and the highest educational degree (bachelor, master’s, and doctorate) variables. The sample consists of 218 participants who were selected according to purposive sampling. This study has a quantitative research design. Accordingly, “The Online Instructor Satisfaction Measure-OISM” developed by Bolliger et al. (2014) was used to collect quantitative data. Additionally, factor analysis, internal consistency reliability and normality tests, independent sample t-test, and one-way ANOVA tests were conducted for data analysis. The findings revealed that the mean level of online instructors’ job satisfaction was 89.04. Besides, there were some differences related to gender and the highest educational degree in subscale level.
