A total of 1384 VASs were working at time of selection of research problem. The ideal sample size of 90 was determined for 1384 VASs at 95 per cent confidence level and 10 per cent margin of error. Veterinary Assistant Surgeons from all the four zones comprising of 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh were determined proportionally and were selected from each district through Simple Random Sampling (SRS). The data was collected by administering structured questionnaire through ‘Google forms,’ and the data collected was coded, tabulated, analyzed, interpreted, discussed and necessary conclusions and inferences were drawn. Majority of the respondents were middle aged, male, had an educational qualification of B.V.Sc. & AH, with medium level of service experience, posted at a medium distance from their native place, undergone medium number of trainings and had medium sources of information utilization. Majority of the VASs had medium level of work motivation, self-esteem, job stress and job involvement. As per the organizational or situational conditions, majority of the VASs perceived moderate organizational climate, organizational communication, span of control, physical facilities and their utilization, timeliness in availability of resources and workload. Majority of the VASs possessed medium level of job satisfaction under components of salary package or benefits, promotions, job nature, supervision and staff and co-workers. Most of the VASs had medium level of job performance under components of animal health services, animal reproduction services, administrative services, extension services and rural upliftment services. Correlational analysis between dependant and independent variables revealed that educational qualification, source of information utilization, work motivation, self-esteem, job involvement, organizational climate and organizational communication had significant and positive correlation with both job performance and job satisfaction of field VASs. Workload had negative significant correlation to job performance, while physical facilities and their utilization had significant positive correlation with job satisfaction of the VASs in AP. Majority of VASs perceived constraints as “ more emphasis on reports and records, lack of adequate infrastructure, lack of transportation facility for VASs for conducting special programs, shortage of skilled supporting staff or manpower, lack of realistic target fixations, lack of priority towards field problems during official meetings, large operational areas due to shortage of manpower, lack of trainings on the basis of the needs of the field VASs, lack of opportunity for participation of VASs in developing need based livestock development programs, farmers’ lack of interest and knowledge on recommended scientific practices and reliance on unscientific procedures, lack of timely and adequate communication, lack of skill based training on innovations, lack of coordination among VASs & with other line departments, lack of motivation for VAS and support from peer veterinarians and lack of good rapport with farmers.”
