Abstract
The present paper focuses on the analysis of the institutionalization of the academic coordination position of the online master's degrees in Spanish public universities, analyzing the conditions in which the management of online master programs by academic staff, help (or not) institutionalize academic coordination. The methodology used in this investigation is the Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) method, a technique that has allowed, through a qualitative analysis, to combine a set of variables that determine the degree of institutionalization in the position of coordinator. The results indicate that a high institutionalization occurs in those cases in which the person in charge of the coordination has specific functions for the performance of their task, he/she shows a good opinion on the e-learning initiatives of their university and exercises the position during a short period of time.
