| description | The purpose of this study was to find out the determinants of the performance of agricultural extension agents in Lebak District and to analyze the determinants of the performance of Agricultural Extension agents in Lebak District. Determination of the research location was deliberately chosen purpose sampling based on certain considerations. The population unit in this study was 117 agricultural extension agents in Lebak District. The sampling technique used is census. The research variables included the characteristics of the agricultural extension agents (X1), competency of agricultural extension agents (X2), training (X3), and the performance of the agricultural extension agents (Y). Data analysis techniques include descriptive statistical analysis to describe research data, path analysis to predict the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable, and to determine the direct and indirect effects of variables. The results of the descriptive statistical analysis in general the performance of agricultural extension agents in Lebak District are in the high category. This is indicated by the high performance of agricultural extension agents in two sub-variables, namely: extension planning sub-variables, and evaluation and reporting sub-variables. The performance aspects of agricultural extension agents are in the low category, namely: the implementation of agricultural extension agents’ activities. The results of path analysis show that the characteristics of agricultural extension agents, competency of agricultural extension agents, and training have an effect on the performance of agricultural extension agents together at 64.2 percent. The most influential factor on the performance of agricultural extension agents is training. |
