Scientifically evaluating residents\u2019 satisfaction and the mechanisms by which it is formed is of great significance for improving the quality of community education services. This study examined the factors influencing community education satisfaction and their underlying mechanisms from the perspectives of individual needs and participation motivation, service quality perception, and sense of community belonging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A questionnaire survey was conducted among 494 community residents in Beijing.

Service quality perception and sense of community belonging also played a chain-mediating role between individual needs and participation motivation and community education satisfaction. Education level moderated only the first-stage path from individual needs and participation motivation to service quality perception, whereas the subsequent path remained stable across groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study reveals the chain mediation mechanism underlying community education satisfaction and provides a theoretical reference for community education practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1888377","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]],"date-time":"2026-09-23T05:49:48Z","timestamp":1790142588000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Research on the influencing factors and mechanism of community education satisfaction"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Linhui","family":"Nie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Haidian Staff University","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shudan","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Science and Technology","place":["Beijing, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1197","DOI":"10.1108\/TQM-10-2019-0234","article-title":"Service quality of student services and student satisfaction: the mediating effect of cross-functional collaboration","volume":"32","author":"Al-Sheyadi","year":"2020","journal-title":"TQM J."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.2307\/3250921","article-title":"Understanding information systems continuance: an expectation-confirmation model","volume":"25","author":"Bhattacherjee","year":"2001","journal-title":"MIS Q."},{"key":"ref3","volume-title":"Exchange and Power in Social Life","author":"Blau","year":"1964"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1177\/074171367102100201","article-title":"Motivational orientations of adult education participants: a factor analytic exploration of Houle\u2019s typology","volume":"21","author":"Boshier","year":"1971","journal-title":"Adult Educ."},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.13541\/j.cnki.chinade.2015.10.010","article-title":"Evaluation and empirical analysis of community education service quality","volume":"10","author":"Cao","year":"2015","journal-title":"Chin.
