Abstract
The component structure of a 34-item scale measuring different aspects of job satisfaction was investigated among extension officers in North West Province, South Africa. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 40 extension officers from which data were collected. A structured questionnaire consisting of 34 job satisfaction and 10 personal characteristic items was administered to the extension officers. Items on job satisfaction were measured at interval level and analyzed with Principal Component Analysis. Most of the respondents (82.5 %) were males, between 40 to 45 years, 85 % were married and 87.5 % had a diploma as their educational qualification. Furthermore, 54 % of the households size between 4 to 6 persons, whereas 75 % were Christians. The majority of the extension officers lived in their job area (82.5), while 80 % covered at least 3 communities and 3 farmer groups. In terms of number of farmers covered, only 40 % of the extension officers covered more than 500 farmers and 45 % travelled more than 40 km to reach their farmers. From the job satisfaction items 9 components were extracted to show areas for job satisfaction among extension officers. These were in-service training, research policies, communicating recommended practices, financial support for self and family, quality of technical help, opportunity to advance education, management and control of operations, rewarding system and sanctions. The results have several implications for motivating extension officers for high job performance especially with large number of clients and small number of extension agents.
