ABSTRACT

Purpose

To assess the performance of agricultural extension managers and the factors influencing it in the case study of Uganda.

Design/methodology/approach

Secondary data was analysed using descriptive statistics and econometric models.

Findings

The amount of extension grant received and the education of the extension manager positively influence extension managers` performance, whereas voter turnout has the opposite effect.

Practical Implications

This study is important for understanding the institutional capacity to implement well-managed and effective public services, such as agricultural extension, which are significant for development. It presents a novel methodology for secondary data analysis, which could be applied to other fields and countries.

Theoretical implications

This study expands the theoretical boundary for analysing performance in agricultural extension by illustrating the use of unique performance indicators that have not been widely applied. The study contributes an innovative method to conceptualise the determinants of extension managers` performance using secondary data.

Originality/value

This is the first study to examine the performance of agricultural extension managers as the literature has thus far focused on agricultural field agents and organisations.

分析农业推广经理的绩效：乌干达案例研究

摘要

目的

在乌干达的案例研究中评估农业推广经理的绩效及其影响因素。

设计/方法/方法

次要数据使用描述性统计和计量经济学模型进行分析。

发现

收到的延期补助金额和推广经理的教育对推广经理的绩效产生积极影响，而选民投票率则相反。

实际影响

这项研究对于了解实施管理良好和有效的公共服务的机构能力非常重要，例如农业推广，这对发展具有重要意义。它提出了一种新的二次数据分析方法，可应用于其他领域和国家。

理论意义

本研究通过说明尚未广泛应用的独特绩效指标的使用，扩展了分析农业推广绩效的理论边界。该研究提供了一种创新方法，可以使用二手数据概念化推广经理绩效的决定因素。

原创性/价值

这是第一项研究农业推广经理绩效的研究，因为到目前为止，文献都集中在农业领域代理和组织上。
