The way in which farm managers' attitudes, personality, behavior, values, and sociodemographic characteristics influence farm business performance is, at best, only partially understood. The study reported here expands on this understanding by analyzing the attitudes and personal attributes of 80 dairy farmers in Great Britain in relation to the profitability over 3 yr of their farm businesses. Business goals, temperament, purchasing behavior, and having a growth mindset toward the business were found to be associated with profitability. A linear regression model consisting of 5 variables related to the above was presented that predicts 34% of the observed variation in profitability. Each of these variables were questions related to the participants' personal attitudes or beliefs. Other assessed variables, such as specific husbandry behaviors or practices, or management practices and sociodemographic characteristics, did not warrant inclusion in the final model. These results uniquely contribute to understanding how the attitudes, personality, behaviors, and attributes of dairy farmers are associated with, and thus likely to influence, the profitability of their farm businesses.

某些奶农的态度和行为与农场业务的盈利能力相关的程度

最多只能部分了解农场主的态度,个性,行为,价值观和社会人口统计学特征对农场经营绩效的影响方式。此处的研究报告通过分析英国80位奶农与他们3年农场业务的获利能力有关的态度和个人属性,进一步扩展了这种理解。发现业务目标,性情,购买行为以及对业务的成长心态与获利能力有关。提出了由与上述相关的5个变量组成的线性回归模型,该模型预测了所观察到的获利能力变化的34%。这些变量中的每一个都是与参与者的个人态度或信念有关的问题。其他评估变量 例如特定的饲养行为或惯例,或管理惯例和社会人口统计学特征,均不包括在最终模型中。这些结果独特地有助于理解奶农的态度,个性,行为和属性如何与他们的农场业务的利润相关联,并因此可能影响他们的农场业务的盈利能力。
