respondents who kept it well and felt it necessary also showed high satisfaction.
4) It was found that the level of satisfaction our respondents felt with using wireless paging
system varied significantly availability(χ2 = 12.759, p = .002), psychological advantages(χ2 =
12.174, p = .002), knowledge about how to use system(χ2 = 7.021, p = .016), power on/off(χ2 =
13.221, p = .001), level of knowledge about system(χ2
= 21.002, p = .000), maintenance(χ2 =
9.871, p = .007) and level of necessity(χ2 = 34.939, p = .000) on the statistical basis.
