Abstract:
The wireless network revolution has transformed lives and business performance with
unprecedented speed and scale, delivering real-time data and it can be quickly and easily
installed. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of wireless network
accessibility on organizational performance in the undevolved government ministries in
Machakos town. To achieve the objectives, 96 respondents were chosen and interviewed. The
sample comprised of the top, middle and lower-level managers, and all other employees who
were not in management. There were 49(53.26%) males and 43(46.74%) females. Pearson
correlations and ordinal regression models were applied to data analysis. Based on the study
findings, 53(57.6%) of the respondents cited that, due to wireless network uptake the set targets
were met and 66(71.74%) stated that, wireless network usage enabled the timely completion
of tasks. There was a positive and significant relationship between the wireless network
accessibility and the organizations’ performance with Pearson Correlation values of 0.199 and
the p-values (2-tailed) of 0.005. The univariate ordinal regression analysis indicated that for
every one unit increase in wireless network access, there was a 2.876, increase in the ordered
log odds of being in a higher level of performance, given all of the other variables in the model
were held constant. Wireless network access was significant at in the multiple ordinal
regression models, with P-values of less than 0.05 thresholds. Induction manuals and provision
of multiple channels and ample wireless network coverage within the workstations were
recommended. Similar research but at different counties and institutions, to ascertain the
result's validity, reliability, and generalizability of the study was recommended for further
research.
