What the study found
OTT-based online education characteristics were significantly associated with both job utilization and educational satisfaction among independent salon hairdressers. Job utilization also had a significant effect on educational satisfaction and partially mediated the relationship between OTT education characteristics and educational satisfaction.
Why the authors say this matters
The authors conclude that OTT-based educational content may enhance educational satisfaction when it is actively used in actual job performance rather than only consumed as content. They say the study provides basic data for designing and operating online educational content in beauty vocational education.
