Smartphone is expected to be a conqueror in mobile phones world as the go forr of Smartphone application is growing day by day. The reason cleverness phone is so influential is beca subprogram of its functions. As example, wireless internet connection, interactivity, mobility and flexibility, which in like manner potential to new mobile application. Currently, the usage of cell phones has chevyd up apace and a drastic depart over past decade. Smart phones soon are practice sessiond to enhance cordial consanguinitys.And they adopt change referable to time and advancement of technology. A study shows that 43% of Australian and 17% of Malayan are use hurtphone and that function is increasing rapidly (Ellis 2011). round of examples of smartphones are the iPhone by Apple Inc, Galaxy series by Samsung, blackberry, HTC and umteen an(prenominal) much. Smart phones are designed in an ut just about musical mode where their functions and features would match the necessarily of their users in these case are educatees. Smartphones function as two mobile communication devices and computers, and allow people to use them to connect to the internet. Its expected that internet-capable mobile devices will be the most common way for people to access the internet by 2013? (Ellis 2011) 10 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS fit to an industry review by The Insight Research Corporation (IRC) the Asia-Pacific region has had a compound annual growth enumerate of 17. 9 percent over the past decade, buoyed by China and India. There are over 800 million cell phone subscribers today in China alone. (Anusha Sethuraman, May 6, 2011). Moreover, dependence on favorable births, the technologies are correctd to suit peoples desire and needs.These forever improving technologies tend to change the lifestyle and habits of their users w ho would demand for more improvements. The antedate sue would be cyclic and would non end unless an opposite(prenominal)(prenominal) new technologies are demonstrable and replace the original technologies. Thus, when publishing changes, society will in like manner change. Global sales are ramping up too. By the support quarter of 2011 mobile phone sales to end users totaled 325. 6 million units, a 13. 8 percent increase from the afore give tongue to(prenominal) dot in 2010, match to Garner, Inc. Of these sales, 19 percent were accounted for by smart phones.To pay off up these figures it is really live to build gaiety among users. (Mark Br possesslow, April 2012) it is expected a accredited matter would make user to continue support thus, hold up in the care. 11 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 1. 2 Problem statement Although, the usage of smartphone is widely accepted in Malaysian lifestyle, there a still UN-satisfy people w ho still build a doubt in exploitation a smartphone, and people who apply one dont realize all this expect in their life.This research believed to help to boost the usage of smartphones and company who manufacturing improve in times to come. 1. 3 Motivation of study The purpose of this research is to analyse the key factor ins that run into the use of heavys and services of smart phone among students in Malaysia. In opposite intelligence, deciding(prenominal)s of students will be studied exploitation quatern factors, comprehend public utility company, comprehend understandability, perceived utilization, and perceived ease of use. Simply the Motivation of the study is to understand the need of users which determining their joy. . 4 Research objectives (R01) To identify the factors that drives merriment to use the Smartphone applications, (R02) To identify whether understandability on smart phones will impression merriment (R03) To identify whether smooth of victimisation the smart phones will consequence atonement (R04) To identify whether cheer of using Smart phones set gladness 12 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 1. 5 Research question (RQ1) Does the utility program of smart phones will lead to gladness? RQ2) Does understandability on smart phones will effect satisfaction? (RQ3) Does handiness of using smart phones effect satisfaction? (RQ4) Does merriment loosenesss main a role in satisfaction in smart phones? 1. 6 theory H1a utility has impact on satisfaction H1b understandability has impact on satisfaction H1c diversion has impact on satisfaction H1d ease of using has impact on Satisfaction 1. 7 Signifi shtupce of study To improve users and industry of smart phone, this research will open up big r to each one of k presentlyledge regarding smart phones and their usage.It will be particularly be salutary for future telecommunication companies and phone makes. They move work unitedly to provide better service in rapidly changing world. 13 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 1. 8 Structure of Dissertation There are tailfin chapters discussed in this study. Chapter one is the gateway where the background of smartphones is explained briefly, followed by the problem statement of the dissertation, the research aim and objectives, the scope of this study, and as well the contribution of this study.In chapter two of this study, back upary sources are used to lay away the training on antigenic determinants which make students satisfy with their smartphones. The critical points of this study are reviewed using the findings in the journal articles theoretically. This chapter is meant to update the user of this study with the cogitate literatures of this research and besides as a guide for future studies. Chapter ternion of this research is the research methodology. In this chapter, the research design and methodology are discussed. Also the purpose and design of the raft instrument which is the questionnaires has been explained.The conceptual framework, airplane pilot runninging, data hookup method, sample used for this study, data epitome, and also the terminal point of research methodology has been explained. Next in chapter four the data summary results are discussed. The data gained from the survey are buttocksvassd using the SPSS software. The findings on the race betwixt the independent uncertains and the dependent variable were mental seeked on with the hypotheses. Finally chapter five of this study is focused on the conclusion and recommendations of this study.Relevant tables and diagram has also been include in this research for easier instinct of the user of this study. 14 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 1. 9 Summary In conclusion, as above the background, Problem statement, motivation, objectives, questions, hypotheses and significance has been identified for the research. 15 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS CHAPTER 2 literature REVIEW 2. 0 Introduction This chapter discusses literature review, summary and conceptual framework.That link up to research. 2. 1 Satisfaction In 1965s Rolling stones famed with a song called Satisfaction, which goes I cant get no satisfaction, I cant get no satisfaction, Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I cant get no, I cant get no. that portrays perfectly and speaks just to the highest degree human nature. Although it just a song lyric, it raise a question what exactly is satisfaction they also speaks of difficulties an individual capability face from trying try to get satisfaction from consumption, usage, institution, government and descent. (Richard, 2010) According to oxford ictionaries defined satisfaction as fulfillment of ones wishes, expectations, or needs, or the pleasure derived from it. Satis faction is derived from Latin Satis, where it means ( enough) and Facere means (to do or make). It can be taken as a product or service where one makes a point to say enough I am fulfilled. customer satisfaction can be scarce defined as psychological state which happen when emotion of ring disconfirmed expectation is combined with the consumers feelings about the go before and present. (Richard, 1981) 16 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTSThe user satisfaction which is student in this case is really strategic because it relate to other(a) valuable variables. This often proved as a success on how a determinant relate with the satisfactions. This will unconsciously lead to success, sustainability, bearing to buy more, and node loyalty. It is important factor to remember also that a consumer who satisfied will save a continuous expectation and to touch it up is a challenge for any business. (Liao c, cc9) and satisfaction is really vi tal for students as their heart can change so fast jibe to circumstances. 2. Usefulness In this rapid changing world, it is hard to sustain the invade of students for one certain thing. For example if smartphones are not as needed by student they cogency switch to notepad and so on. So it is really important for any smart phone producer to pack their stymy which can still keep the flame. Usefulness is rooted back from the member effective which means capable of doing or achieving something official that brings advantage (Macmillan Dictionary, 2011). It goes very(prenominal) to the smart phones usefulness if the usefulness is substantive there is chance it can perform satisfaction if a particular task could be done. Hsi-Peng Lu, Philip Yu-Jen Su, two hundred9) A user will believe that a system has a positive use-performance relationship if the system has high perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989). 17 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS O ther than that, a smart phones study that is base on 7,275 smart phone customer experiences, set that smart phone users who access social media sites like Facebook and Twitter through and through their mobile device report a 783 satisfaction rating. This is about 22 points higher than those who do not access social networks on their smart phones.This shows the usefulness do impact the satisfaction (Daily tech. com, 2012). In other research by Hsi-Peng Lu, and Philip Yu-Jen Su, cc9 stated that rate has significant value is on customer satisfaction. It also state that value is at heart of what consumers needs from business. (Babin et al. , 1994) In other research it been said as new world rising there will be a difference in preparation design too. Learning design is perceived as a long journey of learning and continues education. This is not elementary, as learning environment also has to take into account.It is difficult matter where learner and technologies come together, in both(prenominal) party must come together and adapt their framework. Nevertheless organizations and students should know mobile learning is really essential and it is one form of satisfaction where everything can be done anywhere. (Ana Dias, 2012) Lastly, its great to see how many uses a smartphones can provide a student, Mobile map, satellite view, Wikipedia items, heathen events, photos sharing, parking places, movies, restaurants, social media, It can also be said world is in a palm.All this necessity that smartphone met create satisfaction not just now with students but even working adults. (Martijn Pannevis, two hundred7) 18 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 2. 3 understandability Understandability is an act where user knows how to use particular applications and knows the elements of smart phones. In a July 2011 Modapt Inc Morrissey &038 Company copeed an online survey focused on the mobile Web experience. People like using their smart phones to book instruction, but are often frustrated by trying to navigate clumsy user interfaces and download data.And the result shows in that understandability do plays vital role in satisfaction. (Seybold report, 2011) And another Malaysian report stated that understandability do make a differences in creating satisfaction. It stated that men are more indulge in bid and accessories which can be really fast frustrated if they cant understand the system works which cause less satisfaction. (Mohd Azam Osman, 2011) In another study behavior of certain user is taken into account. The main one is Anxiety it is refer as negative emotions in cognitive states. These emotions conjure up actual or imaginary interactions with mobile using.Igbaria,Iivari (1995, p. 593) goes on to say, soul who experience high level anxiety are more fond to get along rigidly then person who energise low. In short, people are expected to be relax and avoid any diversity feelings that produce a nxious (Compeau and Higgins, 1995), particularly when they operating smartphones. On the other hand person who understand and comfortable are more likely to feel satisfy. As an example, when the customers are in payment servees, they worry about pressing the abuse buttons on the so much app and buttons, thus losing money. In other word negative emotions may come from imagination or physical experiences.Number of former studies set up that 19 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS anxiety had a significantly negative influence on information system bridal (Compeau et al. , 1999 McFarland and Hamilton, cc6). In another study handling and understanding smart phone refers to individual assessment of their ability to perform a specific task while using their smart phone. Several studies make water found that emotions can constraint people from performing skillfully. In other words people who feel anxiety gives a negative effect on one are perceiv ed understandability thus, creating dissatisfaction (Compeau et al. 1999 Fagan et al. , cc3). Several research workers examined that the great the user understand and capability belief will lead to the greater the users intrinsic motivation (Compeau and Higgins, 1995 Deng et al. , 2004). In addition, a person can also thrust believes, that an action surely has a reaction, but if a person has entertain serious doubts about whether they can perform the necessary activities. Information about outcomes does not influence of their behavior, it is also necessary to understand the impact of ones perceived level of skillfulness, under stability on the expectations of the smart phones (1977, p. 93) 20 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 2. 4 Enjoyment In this current age Smartphones are playing a vital role in society. applications programme as touch and voice activated or, multiple apps wealthy person been developed for various purposes, catering w ork and enjoyment. Apps allow a person to shop, read, play games, counten music, send and share information, photos and stay virtually connected with all of our family and friends.The available apps that been cater for use is extends beyond of the limits of our imagination, which most also use smartphones as mindless distraction to idle time away. (Lynn, 2012) The effect of enjoyment/ fun could not be overruled in smart phone using especially for students. Different concepts stupefy been used to explain the importance of student emotions in espousal of smart phones Fun (Pagani, 2004) Enjoyment (Curran and Meuter, 2007), and Perceived Enjoyment (Nysveen, 2005), According to Kim (2008) enjoyment is a very important predictor of the adoption of smartphone.This opinion agreed by (Fang et al, 2005) who found the perceived fun influences student and customers attitude but only for gaming tasks. Meanwhile, the effect of fun was found not to be so important for general and important bus iness task. (Bruner, 2005) continue to say that fun is positively influenced by ease of use and that has been even more important effect on the attitude toward the act that usefulness. This opinion mystify been supported by (Curran, 2007) who says enjoyment is more important than utility. 21 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTSIn other research, when it comes to banking context (Hong et al, 2008) experimented smartphones usage and came to conclusion that enjoyment plays a big part in attitude towards the context using of smart phones information work and entertainment services. In addition, (Dabholkar, 2002) continue to say enjoyment can be said that fun can be forerunner to attitude. In same meaning (Verkasalo, 2008) says that enjoyment has a clear positive effect on attitude towards usage of smartphones, as psychometric interrogationed ranging from e-mailing to instant messaging.Besides that, (Nysveen et al, 2005) portrayed that enjoyment i s a vital determinant which can create satisfaction of users especially students in using smart phones. The report goes on to say that enjoyment is really strong determinant of intentions to use for female person than males (Pagani, 2004) In addition, (Pagani, 2004) create a model where enjoyment is a really an important factor towards satisfaction in using smart phones. Moreover, for students it is really vital to have enjoyment in life. 22 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 2. Ease of use In this current world, time give-up the ghost so limited where people using time as good as possible, ascribable to that, students have very high urge for gismo where they are able to use their smartphones any time, any place (Genova, 2010). Since there are great revival in mobile revolution, the smart phones is now portable, it is tied to individuals not one place (Holub et al, 2010). In (Lu, 2009) report says that consumers can perform smartphones trans action in very bizarre circumstances which have severe time constraints, such as, delay for friend or waiting for traffic unlike eskstop and laptop place in home or one certain place. This indirectly makes users to become highly dependent on smartphones to get informations, by browsing and clicking to access their smartphones wherever they are such as, relax at home, travel overseas and so on (Genova, 2010). According to (Stephen, 2009) normal mobile phone and laptops is included for consumers convenience and the functions increase the rate and satisfaction of the users especially students (Hahn, 2010). In other view, amicable is very important factor in life, what is the use one has everything but dont have a relationship.According to (Tikkanen, 2009) research Social needs interactions surrounded by individual, friends, family, group members as clubs, churches and so on. This needs certainly increases dependance on students and users on smartphones unconsciously gives satisfac tion for users. It also allows user to be more versatile and increased usage for communication and maintaining relationships amongst and among individuals (Lippincott, 2010). 23 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTSAccording to (Wei, 2006) research, it been said that user who are using smartphones are high involved in social needs and people who are needed social dependence intimately discovered. Since, interaction or social networking has been included in smartphones it brings a lot of changes in social hike up (Morgan, 2010). The norm of keeping in touch with breathing group of friends and contact especially students, create a chance for them to meet offline and encourages more engagement with peers and come up with beneficial idea of organizing charity and so on.Social network such twitter and Facebook surface ways for students to engage in activity as such (Raskin, 2006). Smart phones encourage users especially students to satisfy their ne eds, and they are able to connect with peers through social networking sites any time anywhere, which create satisfaction for students (Bridges et al, 2010). It can be said that smartphones are really vital and important mediator betwixt satisfaction and ease of use everywhere and anytime (Wei, 2006). 24 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS . 6 Conceptual Frameworks Usefulness Understandability Students Satisfaction Enjoyment Ease of Use 2. 7 Summary This chapter comprises of usefulness, understandability, enjoyment and ease of use of smart phones towards satisfaction and it believed and proved the independent variable and dependent variable goes in hand in hand. It also contains conceptual framework to support. And literature reviews do support positively towards the research proposed. 25 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTSCHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY 3. 0 Introduction Research methodology can be said as search ing for knowledge and it is narrowed down to a certain topic, subject and title using a scientific and systematic manner. it is a way to solve problem systematically (Dr. Kothari, 2008). The main purpose wherefore the research has been done is to determine whether the factors are affecting the satisfaction of smartphones among students. In consecrate to test the hypothesis mentioned in chapter 2 literature review, a set of self-administered questions were developed.The main objective of this research is to study the students perception towards smartphones satisfaction, the targeted state would be in general those students in SEGI University who using smartphones. This chapter discusses the samples, ingest frame, data accruement methods and statistical techniques 26 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 1 Research Design Research design is basically about how this research have been done, its plan or structure which involves identifying th e problem, then roll up datas and at last analyze and gain results there are lot of type of design to the research.Researcher have chosen the cross component parted design which involves to collect a collection of data on more than one case at one particular time frame. This is to collect a group of quantitative or quantifiable data related to with variables. Where, police detective uses to analyze, understand the relationships and pattern. 250 questionnaire forms were collected from respondents via convenience method and increase method. This study is only utilized quantitative research design. Researcher will analyze the score and result to know whether the variables do match the satisfaction for smart phones users. . 2 Research Methodology Research methodology is basically about the method investigator used, either qualitative or quantitative. In this research quantitative been used, Quantitative method is a about group of data been collected using inferential approach wh ich means the survey is based research where certain amount of sample of population is used to conduct the survey. This research uses questionnaires and the usually the information gained will be similar as it is been standardized.This is because every respondent who participate in this research are rentd to answer the same exact question. The survey data was collected using online survey tool which is Google document, and also through paper handouts. 27 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 3 Questionnaire design The survey instrument used in this research is questionnaires where about two snow (sets of questionnaire have been distributed to students in SEGI University and all the people in my Facebook friend list all over Klang Valley to get their responds accordingly.The questionnaires are to analyze and research few main factors which can effect satisfaction of smartphones among students 1) Usefulness 2) Understandability 3) Enjoyment 4) Ease of use 5) Satisfaction In this questionnaire there are two plane subdivision named as 1 and 2. The 1 section is mainly about demographic exposit which are designed to collect information on demographic details. (I. e. Gender, Age, highest qualification, smart phones brand). On the other hand, the second section is factor analysis. In this section there are 5 incisions which make up of usefulness, understandability, enjoyment, ease of use and satisfaction.The first part is usefulness. This division is created to measure the This usefulness of smartphones towards satisfaction as per respondents view. division has four statements that mete out this. Respondents were asked to rate the 28 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS agreement on a five point musical graduated table ranging from potently agree (1) to strongly disagree (5) The second division is Understandability. This division is created to measure the understandability toward s satisfaction.This division has four statements that cross this. Respondents were asked to rate the agreement on a five point measure ranging from strongly agree (1) to strongly disagree (5) The triad division is enjoyment. This division is created to measure the enjoyment towards satisfaction. This division has four statements that address this. Respondents were asked to rate the agreement on a five point scale ranging from strongly agree (1) to strongly disagree (5) The fourth division is Ease of Use. This division is created to measure the ease of use towards satisfaction.This division has four statements that address this. Respondents were asked to rate the agreement on a five point scale ranging from strongly agree (1) to strongly disagree (5) The fifth division is satisfaction. This division is created to measure the overall satisfaction on smart phones from the respondents. This division has trio statements and one statement will be chosen. 29 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 4 -Samples The method that been performed is quantitative research method. As in this case survey.Cross sectional survey is done to realise information about usefulness, ease of use, enjoyment and understandability towards satisfaction among smart phones user. Below are criteria of potential sample. 1) Inclusion criteria a) Students aged surrounded by 19 and 25 social classs old in SEGI College in Malaysia were included. b) Students who are able to read and write in English language. c) Students with smart phones 2) Exclusion criteria a) exactly students are allowed to participate in this research. b) Students who are unable to read and write in English language. c) Students who dont own Smart phones. 0 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 5 Sampling frame A total of two hundred fifty (250) questionnaires been distributed to the students at bottom SEGI College as for data collection in or der to measure the respondents in different aspects to reach my research objective. The sampling method that is used is non-probability method. On-probability sampling can be narrowed down to two methods which are convenience, snowball sampling (Babbie, 2010). As for this study, convenience sampling is used as it is wakeful to perform. 3. Data collection methods Primary data type is used where questionnaires survey is done for data collection. Once all data is gathered, it been analyzed according to the objective of this research. Other than that, operationalization can be used as way to measure too as it defined where the variable is measured by explaining the lick of defining each variable, as guidance in order to make consistent measurements. (Le Roy, 2008). This research sampling was conducted in SEGI University for Data collection, due to time, distance and communication barriers, it was not practical to conduct the survey in large scale.A total of two-hundred and fifty (250 ) sets of questionnaires were distributed through online and also handouts, however only about two-hundred (200) results were received. 31 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 7 Statistical techniques Questionnaires which have been collected after answered had been analyzed using SPSS analysis. This software is computer based software which is designed specifically for statistical analysis. In this software there are two models which are bilinear and no linear where linear model can make surgical analysis and reliable conclusion.Meanwhile, non- linear model is to improve the accuracy of foretelling made. This SPSS software can run two tests first multiple regressions and simple regression compare means and reliability of the research. As for this study, IBM SPSS Statistic version 20. 0 is used to code and analyze the collected data. Respondents were questioned on the factors that determine their satisfaction on smart phones. A descriptive statistics that includes simple frequencies means and also percentages were computed using the demographic details from the respondents (i. e. gender, age and qualification), system.Moreover to test the hypothesis for each factor, statistical method such as Correlation was used. 32 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 3. 8 original rill Pilot test is considered as an experiment in small scale to check the questionnaire reliability and asperity for bigger scale. This test usually will be performed to identify the problem with materials and methods, so it can be right before proceeding. Pilot test is an important test to feasibility and usefulness of the research method used to collect information.As for this Research, (20) sets of questionnaire been distributed to check the reliability and validity of prepared question. The data have been collected and analyses using reliability test to channelise the reliability and validity of the questio n and on a lower floor are the result for section 2 part 1 part 5 Pilot test / Reliability Table 3. 8. 1 Case Processing Summary N valid Cases Excluded a heart 20 0 20 % vitamin C. 0 . 0 100. 0 a. angle of dip wise deletion based on all variables in the procedure. Table 3. 8. 2 Reliability Statistics Cronbachs alpha . 976 N of Items 17 33 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTSThe table above 3. 8. 1 till 3. 8. 2 shows that there are really good internal consistency. The rate of 0. 976 in table 3. 8. 2 proved that this questionnaire is reliable enough to use these items to conduct the survey. 3. 9 Limitation There are a lot of limitations, in this research one of it is the title is too narrow, it is only for students. Since the respondents are full of students it makes enjoyment and entertainment looked as much more important than any other variables. Its believed those different age groups have a different kind of importance and likeness.Ti me constraint, as this is the final semester and there a four other exam and assignment besides this research makes it harder. Besides that, there are limitations in respondents answer as well this is because respondents might not answer the question honestly as they might have this attitude of falter to let out certain information that might be personal. Respondents are more likely to manipulate their answers to look smart, just be nice by providing a positive answer or afraid being reckon by tec for their answer. This is certainly will be not reliable for the research.Besides that, people who dont use smartphones also became a limitation as its hard to classify them. Other than that, respondents might not have the time for answering the questionnaire as they are rushing for their own agenda. 3. 9 A Summary In nutshell, this chapter comprises of Introduction, samples, sampling frame, data collection and statistical analysis. This has to be done to perform the research. 34 A STUD Y ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS 4. 1 Introduction This chapter is about analyzing, rate of response, reliability, demographic details and Factor analysis. . 2 Rate of Response Off the 250 questionnaires that were distributed, 50 of the surveys were deemed invalid due to half(prenominal) questionnaire.

There are four factors used in this study to find out whether it can obtain satisfaction towards the students. This research were extracted from various existing articles which are perceived usefulness of smartphones, perceived enjoyment that smartphones provide, perceived understandability, perceived ease of use towards satisfaction of smartphones among students.Based on the survey done on the four determinants towards satisfaction, the result shows a significant relationship between all of them, which conclude that, this, four determinant is important for satisfaction on smartphones among students. 5. 3 Recommendation In this research, targeted samples were taken randomly from people who research see, and know. Therefore in future detective may go ballistic their research throughout Malaysia bigger sample sizing from all kind of class as from students to working adults should be taken for mu ch bigger picture Secondly, this research is focused on determinant of satisfaction among students so in future police detective can study in comminuted the other factors which can help to raise satisfaction.Lastly, a detailed research on the comparison between the users and non-users of smart phones can be done to determine the image and expectancy of users. 52 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS 5. 4 Reflection Reflection basically means the act of reflecting or the state of being reflected, it can be also telling out what a researcher have gone through for months he takes up this research. Researchers have taken up the title Determinant of satisfaction of smart phones among students. This is because researcher had a complex interest in smart phones and always had a curiosity how to get to know and expand the knowledge in this section.This research personally have enlighten researcher in and out of smartphones through the reading of articl es, it also have enlighten researcher with social perception and motive of users. The process of undertaking the project dint deviates in any way compare to proposal. Researchers have planned earlier for proposal itself and it just needed to expand it. executive program was really helpful in a way to gives more ideas to expand the literature reviews and matter which comes with it. The only thing that deviates from proposal is more word counts and vast information on smartphones. Researchers have included more informations on satisfaction and its relevance to users, business and corporate who might use it. Research project have a certain process and flow process as follows.Firstly, Identification of research problem is to determine the determinants to attain satisfaction in this process researcher intentional that it is important to identify the problem in a situation. Secondly, problem and statement objective, in this process researcher learn to state the problem and objective of certain problem not only think about it. Thirdly, research question, in this process learn to ask a prim and relevant question for the problem to get a conclusion. Fourthly, literature review in this process researcher learn to use previous or past examples that related to the problem as reference and move in to the goal. Fifthly, quantitative research 53 A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF SATISFACTION ON SMARTPHONES AMONG STUDENTS ethods, in this process researcher have learned to find a proper channel to calculate and analyze the problems. Sixthly, survey instruments, in this process researcher have learn to fetch to users or people who related to study without being ask a lot of wrong questions. A proper questionnaire is a good answer. Seventhly, pilot test, in this process researcher have learn that even been assumed a proper question have been readied mistakes are there, correction is needed for perfection. Next, data collection, in this process researcher have learn that there a lot of way to communicate with person and media and surveys are one and relevant. Lastly, data analysis, in this researcher learned that there are always results for good or bad.And in this research it is good. There are a lot of limitations in this research, one of the main one is limitation on topic to student, the reason why researcher find this can be limitation is because, students are mostly wedded to enjoyment and playing games, this might be a big change in the research perception. If in future researcher want to differently, researcher may expand the sample size to more than 500 samples and researcher would increase the class size from students to many other classes. This study can be helpful for all phones industry and its easier to get a large picture of users needs in smartphones and sustainability of smartphone industry. 5.
