- Summary:
-
A study examined the factors associated with operational limitations of the Training and Visit System, an information diffusion method, at the local levels. A personal interview survey was conducted to gather data required for this study from agricultural extension personnel from three predominantly agricultural areas in Sri Lanka. Stepwise regression analyses were used at 0.01 significance level to determine the degree of influence of independent variables related to both characteristics of extension personnel and the Training and Visit System on the dependent variable, the number of operational problems identified by extension personnel. The study revealed that the number of operational problems was influenced by both independent variable sets. Approximately 16 percent of the variance in the dependent variable was attributable to the individual characteristics of Extension agents, specifically age and satisfaction with being an Extension agent. On the other hand, activities specific to the Training and Visit System influenced nearly 52 percent of variation in the number of operational problems. Study findings were seen as having several useful implications for how administrators and consultants of the Training and Visit System may improve its operational effectiveness at the local level.
