The purpose of this study was to evaluate Extension staff attitudes regarding 93 tasks of adult 4-H volunteer leaders.

The sample for the study included all county extension staff members, district 4-H agents, district directors, district home economists, and state 4-H staff members. The instruments included a Likert-type rating scale to identify the perceived attitude of staff members regarding the tasks and a checklist to classify tasks as educational, maintenance, or managerial. Relationships among the variables were analyzed primarily by the chi-square statistical test. Findings indicated that attitudes regarding volunteer leader tasks varied among districts, according to tenure of staff, bachelor degree area of staff, and whether staff held a county, district, or a state position.
