Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between the level of e-learning during the Coronavirus pandemic and job burnout among faculty members in public and private universities in Jordan, to improve the e-learning experience and make it reach the best possible levels to avoid the increased feeling of burnout among faculty members. The study population consisted of all faculty members working in Jordanian public and private universities for the year 2021, and their number is approximately (11,400) members. The unit of analysis included all academic ranks operating within the mentioned universities (Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Lecturer). A stratified Random Sample was calculated using the university variable at 6%, which is considered an appropriate proportion to represent the study population. The sample size reached 684 faculty members and a study tool (questionnaire) was distributed electronically among them. (580) questionnaires were retrieved from the sample members and (55) were excluded because they were not suitable for analysis. Therefore, the final number of questionnaires that are suitable for statistical analysis is (525) questionnaires. The study found that the level of e-learning, as well as the level of burnout, were moderate among faculty members in public and private universities in Jordan. Also, the study found that the sample members' perspective of the e-learning level was similar in most of the variables except for the type of university variable (public or private), as well as for the job burnout variable, where it was similar towards most variables except for the variable of academic rank. The study concluded that there is a negative correlation with a statistical significance between the level of e-learning and the level of job burnout among the study sample, in addition to the existence of a negative correlation between all areas of e-learning and all areas of job burnout.

Summary
In late 2019, the coronavirus appeared in China and started spreading worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 was a pandemic, where Jordan, like other countries in the world, was affected by this emergency. With the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, and in response to the instructions of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Jordan, they started the teaching process in its various activities using e-learning as of March 2020 until today. The researchers returned to the literature that discussed the e-learning during the Coronavirus pandemic and found that most of these studies aimed to measure the extent of the success of the e-learning process in schools, and to a limited extent in universities, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this type of education, and the problems it faced Whereas all these studies were lacking any investigation on the effects of e-learning on the feelings of a faculty member while performing duty, including the feeling of job burnout. The issue of the study is presented in the following main question: “Is there a relationship between the level of e-learning during the Coronavirus pandemic and the level of burnout among faculty members in public and private universities in Jordan?”
