dc.description.abstractThe Agricultural Extension Officer occupies a key position in the organizational hierarchy of T & V system and acts as the most important catalyst for successful implementation of different agricultural extension programmes . He play's a vital role by providing asked feed back from the extension system to the research system. Thus, the achievement of the extension programme with regard to agricultural development to a greater extent depends upon the job performance of AEOs. The job behaviour of the AEO is influenced by personal factors and job factors. Therefore, there is need to study the factors that are ~ffecting his job performance for making the Directorate of Agricultural and Food Production, Orissa State more functional. The present study constitutes an attempt to study the factors influencing job performance among the AEOs in Mayurabhanj district of Orissa state by adopting the ex-post-facto research design. Data were collected from a sample of 52 extension officers for the investigation. The job performance of AEO was measured by a job performance index specially developed for the study. The performance of AEOs was appraised by a combination of self rating, superior rating and subordinate rating. An interview schedule containing 42 job items grouped into nine major job areas was developed and after testing reliability administered to AEOs to indicate their performance in specific job items on five point scale continuum - 'most often', 'often', 'sometimes', 'seldom' and 'never'. The same interview schedule was administered to both superiors and subordinates to rate the job performance of AEO and Kendall Coefficient of Concordance test was applied to find out the extent of association of rating between the three categories of judges. Following findings emerged out of the study. The appraisal indicates that highest proportion {54%) of the AEOs had average level of performance followed by 31 per cent having high and 15 per cent low. Two respondents' characteristics were found to have significant relationship with the level of job performance. While the 'age' had a negative relationship with the level of job performance, 'communication behaviour' was found to have a positive relationship with the dependent variable.
