| dc.description.abstract | Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with the performance ratings of male county Extension agents in Texas so that criteria might be developed for selecting new county personnel who will be effective Extension educators. Specific objectives to accomplish this purpose were: 1. To identify factors common to male county Extension agents who are rated high, medium, or low in performance. 2. To determine if a significant association exists among factors peculiar to agents that are rated high, medium, or low in performance. 3. To develop criteria for use in recruitment, selection and employment of male county personnel who would develop into superior Extension educators. Procedure Data were obtained from the permanent records of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service utilizing the agent's personal data file, the agent's college transcript, and the Performance Review rating of the agent. The data were analyzed by the Data Processing Center at Texas A&M University. Variables of the continuous nature were treated by analysis of variance while discrete variables were tested by the use of chi square. A sample of 80 male county Extension agents was selected to study the association of 26 factors to performance rating. ... | en |
