1970 FOUR-H LEADERSHIP TRAINING NEEDS OF
TENNESSEE AGENTS

December 1972*
ABSTRACT
In this study the self-perceived training needs of Tennessee County
Extension Agents were compared with the training needs as perceived by
their district supervis nra in the areas of adult and junior leadership
training. Factors considered in this study were: (1) supervisory
district, (2) sex of worker, (3) percent of time devoted to 4-H work,
and (4) years of tenure with the Tennessee Extension Service.
Questionnaires were completed by 345.Tennessee county Extension
agents and by 15 district supervisors on 11 adult and 6 junior leadership
training needs. The data collection instrument was developed by The
University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Education Department in
collaboration with the 47H Department and the 1970 Committee on 4-H In-
service Training Needs.
The part of the questionnaire with was used in the study dealt with
11- trained the agents considered themselves to be in-the areas of
adult and junior leadership training. Also, district supervisors indicated

how well-trained they felt their nts were as a whole on each of the
adult and junior leadership items. The agents and supervisors were asked
to indicate three priority training needs to be zho -n from the entire
survey.
Data obtained from the completed questionnaire were tabulated accord-
ing to a weighted value basis. Average ratings were calculated. Numbers
and percents were calculated separately in certain categories. Percentages
were based on the total number responding to eaeh,item.
Findings disclosed that the district supervisors gave lower ratings
for their agents on all adult and junior leadership training items than
the county Extension agents gave themselves. In all cases the men and
women district supervisors' ratings of their agents in the areas of adult
and junior leadership training were more similar than different. The data
indicated that there was only a slight degree of disagreement concerning the
self perceived adult and junior leadership training needs when the county
Extension agents were compared on district and sex of worker bases. However,
with respect to junior leadership training the men agents e frequently
rated themselves not very" well-trained than did the women agents.
The "0 to 25 percent of time devoted to 4-H group" more frequently
ranked both adult and junior leadership training needs as being more
critical than was true for the "25 to 75 percent" or the "75 through 100
percent" groups.
The data indicated little difference in training needs of agents in
the areas of adult and junior leadership training needs on the basis of
.tenure with the Tennessee Extension Service.
The district supervisors' perception of the agents' priority training
needs indicated that the supervisors, in general, selected more priority
needs in the adult leadership training area than agents selected in this
area. On the other hand, the county Extension agents felt that the
junior leadership priority needs were of greater importance than did the
district supervisors.
The data indicated that, as the percent of time devoted to 4-H work
increased, so did the proportion of agents indicating adult leadership
priority needs.
Recommendations for use of the findings and for further study were
made.

I. PURPOSES AND SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
furPoae
The overall purpose of this study was to assess i.Le self-perceived
training needs of county Extension agents in:the areas of adult and
junior leadership training and to compare these self-perceived needs
with agent needs as perceived by district supervisors. Attention also.
was given to some of the factors which might influence the perception
of these needs. Factors considered were: (1) supervisory district,
(2) sex of worker, (3) proportion of time devoted to 4=H programs, and
(4) years of tenure.
i'vgel4eUbjectives
The specific objectives of the study were as follows:
1. To identify and compare the adult and junior leadership
training needs of county Extension agents as perceived
(a) by the agents themselves and (b) by their district
supervisors.
2. To compare both the adult and junior leadership training
needs of county Extension agents by Extension supervisory
district.

the district supervisors.
7. To compare-the priority adult and junior leadership training
needs of county Extension agents by supervisory district, by
sex, and by percent of time devoted. to 4-H programs.
II. METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
Population and_gamplingjrocedure
The population in this study consisted of 345 Tennessee county
Extension agents in the 95 Counties, and their 15 district superVisors
representing the five Extension districts,
The data collection instrument was developed by The Univer ity of
Tennessee Agricultural Extension Education Department in collaboration
with the 4-H Department and the 1969-1970 Committee on 4-H Inservlce
Training Needs. This questionnaire was mailed to 350 county Extension
agents and 15 district supervisors. All were completed, but five of
those done by agents were not usable. Therefore a total of 345 agent
surveys were available for summary. All 15 of the district supervisors'
questionnaires were returned and were in usable form. The portion of
the questionnaire which was used in this study dealt with how well-trained
the agents considered themselves to be on eleven adult and six junior
leadership training items. The agents were asked to indicate ne percents
of time which they devoted to 4-H programs, district supervisors were
asked to indicate how well-trained they felt their agents were as a whole,
not individually, on each of the eleven adult and six junior leadership
training needs.
County Extension agents and supervisors also were asked to indicate
the three training needs in the entire survey which they considered to
be their greatest priority training needs.
Another source of data consisted of biographical data sheets for
each agent in the Agricultural Extension Education Section files at The
University of Tennessse. Number of years of work experience with the
Tennessee Extension Service was the only experience considered in com-
puting tenure.
METHOD OF ANA.YSI S
formation obtained from the completed questionnaires was
tabulated on a weighted value which was arbitrarily assigned. The
weighted values were: 1.0, "not very"; 2.0, "Fairly "; and 3.4, "very"
well-trained. These values were used in calculating average scores
for each of the eleven adult and six junior leadership training needs
and these scores were then placed in rank order. The average rating
4
for each of the items was calculated by multiplying the assigned values
by the number of Extension agents responding in each response category.
The resulting number was divided by the total number of Extension agents.
The highest score was ranked number 11 for adult leadership and number
6 for junior leadership training needs, these being the total numbers of
items in the respective categories. The lowest score was r nke4 number
one in importance. Numbers and percents were calculated separately for
men and for women agents and for the total group of agents together
according to percents of time devoted to 4-H and by supervisory district.
Percentages were based on the total number responding to each item and
were rounded to the nearest whole number.
IV. MAJOR FINDINGS
Major findings will be presented under group headings related to
the objectives of, the study.
ARente' I -Pe d ,dolt :nd J Junior -de hi red
With District Supervisors' ?ereeption of_Agents' Needs
1. District Supervisors gave lower ratings on all adult leadership
training needs than did the county Extension agents, both of these ratings
being in terms of the agents' needs.
2. District supervisor tinge on all junior leadership training
needs of agents were slightly lower than the agents' self-perceptions of
their own training needs. This difference was less distinct than the
disparity between the too groups with respect to adult leadership needs
cited above.

3. District supervisors rated more adult leadership training needs
of agents in the "not very" well-trained range, than did the agents
themselves.
4. District I supervisors tended quite consistently to rate their
Agents somewhat higher than other district supervisors rated their agents
on adult leadership training needs.
5. Both for adult leadership and junior leadership training needs
of agents, men supervisors' and women supervisors' ratings were _rked
more by similarity than by difference.
rsimilli&aLlsLLeds as SelfDistrict
A comparison of county Extension agents' self- perceived adult and
junior leadership training needs on a district basis revealed no more
than very slight disagreements.
ag11ling----("nsUnentsSelf perceived adult leadership training needs of men and women
county Extension agents were essentially Similar. With respect to
junior leadership training needs, the men agents more frequently rated
themselves "not very" well-trained than did the women agents.

1. On no adult leader hiptraining need Were the rankings of self -
perceived needs of the different percent of time devoted to 4-H agent
groups the same.

2. There was a tendency on the part of the 0 to 25 percent of time
devoted to 4-H group to rank both their adult and junior leadership
ining needs as being more critical than was true for the 25 to 75
percent or the 75 through 100 percent groups.
3. In Districts I and III the 0 to 25 percent group of agents
apparently did not feel as well - trained on the junior leadership training
needs as did agents in the same percentage of time devoted to 4 -Fl groups
in the other three districts.

1. There was a noticeable decrease in level of self-perceived training
adequacy for the two longest tenured agent groups (i.e. 26 to 30 and 31-
plus years categories) on junior leadership training needs.
.2. In general, the different tenure groups were quite similes in
their perception of training needs in both adult and.junior leadership
training areas.

1. Although the numbers involved were relatively small, there
seemed to be a tendency for district supervisors, in general, to select
more priority training needs in the adult leadership training area than
were selected by agents.
2. Almost cane -half of all possible 4-H priority training needs were
selected by the district supervisors in the adult leadership training
area.
It was apparent that county Extension agents felt that junior
leadership priority needs were of comparatively greater importance than
did the district supervisor

IMPLICATIONS SUE TIONS
Underlying both the brOad purposaand.the specific objectives of
this Study was .the serious intent to- contribute knowledge and under
.standings which will be valuable in developing meaningful and significant
training programs- for Extension agents. In line with this intent, the
8
following implicationa and recommendations are presented.
1. Districtisuoervisors need t_o_bt aware of thtselt-Leercelygd
training needs of Their agents.
--(a) Inservice.training need inventories should be completed at
periodic intervals, probably no less frequently than every
other -year. Such inventories should focus onspecif c areas
of concern both to agents and to supervisors. -There should
--be some structure for regular discussion between agents and
supervieorsconcerning training. needs seen as Vital.
Certainly, vital involvement of agents in the planning and
development.of inservice. programs should be.continued. In.
such planning, care should be taken to include ideas from
agents representing different tenure 'periods different time
-commitments to 4 -H, as well-as both sexes.
-2. -Supervisory 4-H tnaervice training_ pro4ramfi should be developed
specifically with the _of district superviaors in mind. In the
past it has likely been that supervisors involvement in inserVice training
has been focused primarily on their respoLsibility for facilitating agent
involvement.
3. Thera isjleelear!!-ut_eviden e__; roA-thethe current study indicating

Inasmuch as the findings in the current Study are based on
relatively small numbers in many instances and refined
statistical tests of-significance have therefore not been
utilized, it seems important to follow up with research
-Which does Make such tests possible.
2. Along with the above recommendation would be seen the need
to control factors which.were not taken into account in the
current study and to isolate more carefully those influences
which were considered here. For example, -it would be in7
teresting to look at the influence of (a) types of education
and training and (b) background of professional experience
prior to-the period of-4-H inroivcmeent.
In terms of district supervisors' involvement in and influence
on 4-H programs, a study which conatders the effect of the
supervisor's past nvolvement with 4-H related activities and
10
programs and attitudes toward 4-H might be helpful, parti-
cularly in the selection of supervisors, if there is inte e
in the impact supervisors may have on program development
in their- district.
4. Data in other training areas of the agent 4-H inservice
training needs Lnventory should be studied to analyze and
determine non-leadership 4-H training needs in a similar
way to the present investigation. This would be true for
data collected in the 1969-1970 survey and future surveys
as well.
