| description | The study centered on (ICTs) application and its relationship to the job performances of extension workers in North central Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was administered to 291 extension workers. A sampling method with a mixture of techniques was adopted. Descriptive statistics, Z test, Pearson correlation, and Factor analysis were employed. A significant majority 87.6 % often used Facebook, 86.9% What’s app, and 84.2% internet sources/mobile/smartphone. Factors affecting ICTs application, Factor 1 having high loading were lack of availability of professionals for training, gender issues, lack of Government intervention, and lack of monitoring and evaluation from the government. Factor 2 with higher loading was the need for ICTs infrastructure and inadequate availability of electricity. Factor 3 with high loading was high equipment cost and poor income. Among the three factors that contributed most to explaining the total challenges of ICTs training and application is factor 1 with about 20.5%, followed by factor 2 which accounted for 18.6%. There was a significant difference between gender and performances at a 0.05 level. There was a positive and moderate effect and significant correlation at 0.01 level between ICTs application (r=0.309) and job performance at P<0.01. ICTs application also had a small effect and Positive and significant association with the Quantity of work, quality of work, and speed of work at a 1% level of significance. It is recommended that the Government should intervene through equality professional training and set up a good monitoring team to encourage effective ICTs applications directed towards organizational development. Keywords: ICTs, application, relationship, performances, extension workers. |
