| الملخص: | Decentralisation policy in agricultural extension services was introduced in
Indonesia since the issuance of joint-ministerial agreement between the Minister of
Agriculture and the Minister of Home Affairs in 1991, and was later modified in
1996. Consequently, several tasks and responsibilities concerning the agricultural
extension services were transferred from the central government to the management
of the district governments.
The purpose of this study was to determine factors influencing the
effectiveness of implementation of decentralisation policy in agricultural extension
services by utilising a model adapted from the public administration and finance of
Rondinelli and Cheema (1983) and Rondinelli et al. (1984; 1989).
A correlational research design was used in the study. The population of this
study comprised the extension officers at the Rural Extension Centres (RECs) in island of Java. A multi-stage random sampling method was employed to select 107
groups of field extension workers (GFEWs) and 107 the heads of RECs (BRECs) in
West Java, Central Java and East Java Provinces, Indonesia. In addition, data from
the heads of the BIPPs (HBIPPs) and contact farmers were also solicited. Personal
and group interviews as well as self-administered questionnaires were used in the
data collection. |
