    (Makerere University Business School, 2023) Kuteesa, Christine
    The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of e-learning adaptability and learning environment to students’ learning productivity in universities. The research problem was that in Uganda the productivity of students has reduced more especially in the Covid 19 pandemic period. This is more evident with the students of Master of Science in Accounting and Finance. Hence the research objectives were: to examine the influence of E-learning adaptability on students’ learning productivity, to examine the influence of learning environment on students’ learning productivity and to examine the mediating effect of learning environment in the relationship between E-learning adaptability and students’ learning productivity. The researcher used a cross-sectional quantitative survey design. The total population was 109 students from which a sample of 85 students was used. They were selected by simple random sampling. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The correlation results indicate that e learning and students’ learning productivity are significantly correlated (r = .827*, p<.01), learning environment and students’ learning productivity are significantly correlated (r = .863*, p<.01). The results also show that the independent variables can predict 78.2 percent of the variance in student’s learning productivity (Adjusted R Square = .782). More to that, learning environment significantly though partially mediates in the relationship between E-learning adaptability and students’ learning productivity. On that basis it was recommended that educational institutions and stakeholders should prioritize creating adaptive and supportive learning environments, investing in technological infrastructure, and psychological well-being, continuously evaluating and improving E-learning platforms, providing comprehensive training and support for e-learning tools, and offering diverse learning materials and tools to cater to the various needs and preferences of students, thereby enhancing overall learning productivity.
