The study aims to examine the factors influencing the long-term educators' motivation to use ELMS. The study was conducted at School of Big Data and Computer Science, Hechi University, China. The research methodology consisted of the author's developed online questionnaire, which was designed to determine the motives for using ELMS in the educator's work. The sample is represented by 214 respondents, most of whom are men (64.1%), the bulk of the participants (46.1%) are 35-50 years old, 38.8% have 5-10 years of work experience in educational institutions, 29.4% are associate professors. It follows from the results that teachers have significant intentions to use ELMS in their future professional activities (overall mean = 3.99). Creation by the administration and government of favorable conditions for the introduction and use of technology did not receive high support (overall mean = 2.82). The results obtained can be used to build mathematical models in educational institutions that will help determine the intentions of the long-term use of ELMS by the teaching staff. Adjusted R-squared (0.428) of the model indicates a good level of predictive power.
