Demographic and work experience characteristics of agricultural extension agents as determinants of their job satisfaction.

Abstract

This paper examined the relative contributions of selected demographic and work experience factors as predictive determinants of job satisfaction among agricultural extension agents in the former Imo State ADP. The job satisfaction prediction profile featured only work experience variables, with need satisfaction exercising the greatest predictive ability. Thus efforts at agent job satisfaction should logically emphasise need satisfaction.
