Purpose: This paper aims to determine the influence of e-learning and its dimensions on university performance, taking the University of Basra’s various faculties as a field study.
Theoretical Framework: The study’s hypotheses are divided into one central hypothesis and four sub-hypotheses constructed and grounded on the dimensions of e-learning. Infrastructure, technical support, management, organization, and content were taken as dimensions of the independent variable, and University Performance as the dependent variable.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper uses a quantitative method with a deductive approach. One hundred sixty participants responded to a structured questionnaire as part of the study’s descriptive analytical procedure. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Statistical analyses were applied to test the research hypotheses and meet the study’s goals.
Findings: Results revealed a positive association linking the application of e-learning dimensions. Universities are motivated to apply e-learning strategies due to their positive influence on leveraging university performance. Infrastructure, technical support, management and organization, and content positively influence university performance.
Research, Practical and Social Implications: This paper highlights the features and dimensions influencing university performance significantly in the Iraqi context. Hence, executives of public and private universities will be able to determine the actions to be adopted to advance and progress the implementation of e-learning and performance.
Originality/Value: The paper’s originality stems from the significance and recency of the addressed topic. This paper is the first empirical research presenting a diagnosis of e-learning dimensions and university performance at Basra University during the outbreak of the corona pandemic. It is an original paper conducted in the Iraqi context.
