Data for testing the hypothesis was collected through a closed ended questionnaire based on the Likert scale. The questionnaires administered were based on 27 items. Seven items were related to personal data, and the rest 20 were related to measuring the overall satisfaction level. The appropriate sample size was 40. However, as there were 44 departments, therefore, stratifiedproportionate and non-proportionate sampling techniqueswere used, which increased the sample size to 105. Of the 105 samples 100 samples were valid.Eight hypotheses were formulated and tested thoughANOVA, Z test and correlation techniques. The overallsatisfaction level was 4.7 on a scale of (1-7).
