Ten out of 20 districts of Chiangmai were randomly selected. A total of 107 extension agent- respondents was chosen by simple random sampling using a questionanaire as a data-gathering device. Analysis of data gathered was done using descriptive statistics, Person's Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation and Chi-square. Results showed that the exension agent- respondents were young with an average age of 35 years; almost all(90.7%) were male and married (86.9%). A greater majority (82.2%) resided outside the community where they were assigned. More than one-half (53.3%) were classified under high salary category with an average salary of 5,623 baht. Average length of service was ten years with a little more than one-half (54.2%) classified as having long length of service in the government. About one-half (50.5%) had experienced working with other organization prior to becoming an extension agent. They had a "very positive attitude" toward agricultural extension work indicating that they understood and fully appreciated the nature of their jobs as extension agents. The aspects of extension job were generally rated as "often". In fact, five out of the six aspects of extension work were perceived to be oftenly performed, a good indication of work behavior. Four out of seven selected demographic, job related factor and attitude towards agricultural extension work were found to have significant correlation with extension agents' perceived job performance. These were sex, place of residence, salary and attitude towards agricultural extension work. Based on the findings and conclusions of this study, some recommendations were also drawn. | |
