Factors Affecting Employees’ Job Performance in Agricultural Development Programme of Northern Nigeria

Abstract

This study examined Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) employees’ personal characteristics and related factors affecting their job performance in Northern Nigeria. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to select 120 employees. Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire. The results revealed a positive significant relationship between work constraints, farmer, institutional, family and self-related factors affecting ADP employees’ job performance. It is recommended that organisations should put into consideration the related factors in the design of program interventions and their implementation in ensuring a better employee job performance.
