The study was conducted in three campuses of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar viz. Bhubaneswar, Chiplima and Bhawanipatna in 2019 to measure the job satisfaction of teachers working in the University. Ninety respondents from these three campuses were selected for the study using a random sampling procedure. Data was collected from the respondents by implementing personal interview method. Job satisfaction of teachers was measured with the help of a scale with slight modifications. Majority of teachers possessed medium level of overall job satisfaction while working in the University. Majority of the variables were found to have a significant positive association to the dependent variable. In addition, variables such as level of aspiration, achievement motivation, perceived workload, mass media exposure, job stress, awards and recognition along with awards and recognition were found to show significantly positively contributing to as well as explaining about sixty three percent variation of the dependent variable.
The study was conducted in three campuses of Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar viz. Bhubaneswar, Chiplima and Bhawanipatna in 2019 to find out constraints affecting the job satisfaction along with the suggestions for improving the job satisfaction of teachers working in the University. Ninety respondents from these three campuses were selected for the study using a random sampling procedure. Data was collected from the respondents by implementing personal interview method. Majority of the respondents state that the constraints like lack of enough teaching staff, duty related workload, insufficient staff quarters and shortage of lands for research and practical classes were prominent in hampering their job satisfaction. The suggestions for solving the constraints predominantly suggested were teachers’ recruitment for workload optimization, adequate staff quarters, sanctioning adequate funding along with lands for research.
The study was conducted in two colleges of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar viz. College of Agriculture and College of Agricultural Engineering, Bhubaneswar in 2019 to measure occupational stress of teachers working in the university. Total hundred number of respondents viz. sixty from college of agriculture and forty from college of agricultural engineering were selected following complete enumeration method. Data was collected from the respondents by implementing personal interview method. Profile characteristics of respondents, distribution of respondents according to student’s behaviour, distribution of respondents according to occupational stress, association of occupational stress with the profile characteristics of teachers, the gap between role performance and role expectation of teachers were measured. Educational qualification and present job experience found to be positively correlated with occupational stress of teachers. The maximum gap between the role expectation and role performance of teachers of OUAT was found for the factor; opportunity to earn money, wealth and property followed by delegation of authority, whereas minimum gap was observed in case of job security. Total deviation of 23.97 per cent was found between role expectation and role performance of teachers of OUAT.
The study aimed to evaluate the perception of faculty members towards the organizational climate by evaluating the constraints and finding the suggestions in three colleges, namely UAS Dharwad, UHS Bagalkot, and KVAFSU Bidar, during the academic year 2020-2021 in Karnataka. The researchers used a pre-set scale consisting of 32 items that represented six organizational climate characteristics, viz. communication, supervision, decision-making, motivation, guidance, and organization management. A total of 135 faculty members participated in the study, and personal interviews were conducted to collect the data. The results revealed that the majority of faculty members faced challenges such as poor workplace relations, lack of motivation and appreciation for their achievements, improper communication of work-related information, and lack of guidance from superiors in difficult situations that hampered the organizational climate. To foster a cordial climate within the organization, faculty members suggested fostering friendly relationships among faculty and building trust, the head’s encouragement for good deeds, reward and incentive programs, and weekly faculty group meetings were suggested to increase motivation and appreciation for achievements.
The study was conducted in 2021 in the Jharsuguda district of Odisha to identify the constraints affecting beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY). The study used a random sampling procedure and collected data through personal interviews with 60 respondents. Garrett’s ranking technique was employed to analyze the constraints as perceived by farmers. The findings revealed that medium and large landholding farmers availed the maximum limit of subsidy, and non-availability of spare parts in the local area, tedious procedures to obtain the benefit of PMKSY, and frequent equipment repairs were the major challenges hindering the performance of beneficiaries under PMKSY. Therefore, key stakeholders must take suitable steps to remove the identified constraints. It is imperative to address these challenges to improve the performance of farmers in Odisha.
