Influence of Transactional Distance of Online Education on Efficiency Management Under the Perspective of “Internet +”—Based on the Mediating Role of Learning Viscosity

Abstract

In the era of "Internet +", online education has flourished, and the recent COVID-19 epidemic has further brought it into the public eye. Despite the high expectations placed on online education, there are still many people in society who are skeptical and worried about its quality. At present, there are few related researches about the efficiency management of online education, so it is important to explore the factors influencing the efficiency management of online education. In this paper, the S-O-R environmental psychology paradigm was used to investigate the influence of transactional distance on efficiency management. It is found through study that the transactional distance has a positive effect on efficiency management, and learning viscosity plays a part of the mediating effect, that is, transactional distance acts on efficiency management by affecting learning viscosity. Based on the conclusion above, some suggestions were put forward on how to optimize the efficiency management of online education.
