PROBLEM CONFRONTATION OF THE FEMALE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION OFFICERS OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION IN BANGLADESH (Pages : 13 - 16)

The purpose of the study was to determine and describe problem confrontation of the Female Agricultural Extension Officers (FAEOs) of Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE). As the number of the FAEOs is not much (total 150 for the whole country) all the FAEOs working under different Upazillas were considered as the sample of this study. A structured questionnaire was prepared for collecting data from the FAEOs and it was pretested among ten FAEOs at DAE Head Quarter. Then the corrected questionnaires were mailed to the addresses of 150 FAEOs in August 2012 and requested to return back within 30 August 2012. Out of which 65 duly filled up questionnaires were returned back to the researcher in time. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was chosen as data analysis method. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (84.62 percent) had enough problem confrontation capacity ranged from medium (50.77 percent) to high (33.85 percent). Only 15.38 percent had low problem confrontation capacity. From the Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis it was found that among nine independent variables motivation and personality had significant relationship. The rest of the variables like professional commitment, age, job performance, technological knowledge and personality did not show any significant relationship. Download
