Job Behavior of Workers in the Local Village Units in Kom Hamada District, Beheira Governorate



The study aimed to prepare a scale to measure the degree of commitment to the job behavior rules for workers in rural local units, and to use it in measuring the degree of their commitment to these rules. The process of preparing the scale passed through several stages, it began with the examination of the code of Functional Conduct. This stage ended with the formalization of ten main rules, each of which was one of the scale's axes, and each axis included four items. This is followed by the stage of estimating the validity of the scale, and then the stage of estimating the reliability of the scale. This required conducting a field study on a systematic random sample of heads of households who deal with local units in the villages of AL-Tood and Kafr Bolin in Kom Hamada district in the Behira Governorate.

The results of the statistical analysis indicated high degrees of reliability for each of overall scale and its sub-axes, and statistically acceptable validity rating.

The study tested the relationship between the degree of commitment rules of job behavior and 12 variables. The results indicated that each of respondents occupation, period of dealing with the unit, economic level, village development level and satisfaction with rule of the local unit in the village development had statistically significant relationships with degree of commitment rules of job behavior.
