Abstract

The main objectives of this study were to know: (a) the differences
between extension workers in North Upper Egypt Governorates in their
performance level of their functional tasks and factors affecting it, (b)
training programmers attended by extension workers in these governorates,
(c) information sources used by extension workers and their relative
importance, and (d) problems and constraints of their performance of their
functional tasks.
The study was conducted on a sample of 235 extension workers
drawn randomly from all extension workers in Fayoum, Beni-Suaif and
Minya governorates. A questionnaire form was designed to collect necessary
data by means of personal interview.
Results showed that most extension workers (75%) had low or
average level of performance. The most significant factors determining their
level of performance were: educational qualification, use of information
sources, awareness of recent changes in agriculture and job satisfaction.
These four factors interpreted 39.5% of variance of extension workers level
of performance of their functional tasks.
The results also showed that the number of extension workers who
performed each task differed from one task to another. Their exposure to
information sources also differed from one source to another. More than one
ā€“ fifth (22%) of extension workers never attended any training courses
designed for extension workers which were mostly reported to be for one or
two days and mainly given as theoretical lectures. Several problems face
extension workers to perform their functional tasks effectively.
