ThesisItem Embargo Personal and professional attributes of anganwadi workers as correlates of developmental outcomes in children(Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 2022) Arya, Manisha; Vig, DeepikaThe present study investigated the personal and professional attributes of 80 anganwadi workers (AWWs) selected from 80 anganwadi centres of Ludhiana district and correlated these attributes with the developmental outcomes in 400 children from their respective anganwadi centres. Proportionate sampling was used to select sample from urban and rural anganwadi centres. A General Information Sheet, Soft Skills Assessment Checklist, Job Satisfaction Scale, Quality of Work Life, Job Involvement Scale, Developmental Milestones Checklist and Self- Structured Knowledge Questionnaire were used as research tools. Most of the anganwadi workers had average communication skills but low level of time management skills. Further, it was found that most of the anganwadi workers had an average level of positive attitude, teamwork spirit and job satisfaction however, quality of work-life was found low in most of the anganwadi workers. There was significant difference in communication skills, job satisfaction and knowledge of anganwadi workers across different centres. Children across centres also showed significant differences in their gross motor, language and socio-emotional skills. The communication skills of anganwadi workers were positively correlated with children's gross motor skills and cognitive skills. Positive attitude, job satisfaction and job involvement of anganwadi workers were positively correlated with the socio-emotional skills of children while team work was positively correlated with fine motor and socio-emotional skills of children. Time management, positive attitude, quality of work life and knowledge of anganwadi workers contributed positively in achieving developmental milestones of anganwadi children.
