Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the attitude levels of full-time extension workers towards overseeing private agricultural projects. Data was gathered through personal interviews and questionnaires from a simple random sample of 127 full-time extension workers, representing 33.24% of the total research population. The study revealed that a substantial majority, specifically 86% of the respondents, display notably favorable attitudes towards supervisory roles within private agricultural projects in the study region. Additionally, the analysis elucidates statistically significant disparities between respondents' attitudes regarding supervisory positions and various key variables, including gender, professional title, marital status, place of residence, vocational interest, post-graduation work tenure, and exposure to agricultural resources. At the same time, the results indicate a lack of statistically significant distinctions between respondents' attitudes and the variables of age and profession title. The research recommends engaging agricultural extension directorates and professional associations, particularly those comprising agricultural engineers, in enhancing employment prospects for graduates specializing in administration and agricultural extension. This involves deploying these graduates in supervisory capacities within agricultural projects across private and public sectors.
