Object of research on one of the online e-government services in the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Indonesia called SIMPATIKA (Information Systems Management Educators and Education Personnel). The research model was developed based on 2 (two) research models, namely: IS-Success Model (Information Systen Success) from Information System (IS) study field, and UX Model (User Experience) from Human Computer Interaction (HCI). This research identifies 8 (eight) dimensions of 3 (three) constructs of satisfaction factors, namely: dimensions of system quality, information quality, service quality on the satisfaction factor of system quality performance. Then the dimensions of individual impact and organizational impact on impact satisfaction factors and attractive, pragmatic and hedonic dimensions on user experience satisfaction factors. These three factors of satisfaction build the level of user satisfaction of SIMPATIKA online e-government services in the Ministry of Religious Indonesia. The result of testing and analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS) shows that satisfaction factor of performance quality, impact and user experience influence user satisfaction on e-government online service. The dimensions of system quality, information quality and service quality, individual impact, organizational impact, attractiveness and pragmatic influence positively on user satisfaction. The hedonic dimension of the user experience satisfaction factor has little effect on user satisfaction. This happens because the mandatory online e-government service. In mandatory service situations, users are more concerned with the performance aspects and impacts of a service than the hedonic aspects of e-government online services. The results of this study contribute to research in the field of Information Systems in the context of online e-government services by studying the user satisfaction based on 3 (three) satisfaction factors. Practically, practitioners, stakeholders and other researchers can use this research to evaluate the success of online e-government services based on user satisfaction from multiple stakeholder perspectives
