4-H organizational leaders: The association between task performance and support received

The objective of the study was to determine if there were relationships between task performance of the 4-H organizational leader and concern shown by the Extension agent as well as other selected independent variables. A research survey was sent to a sample of 312 of the 1,560 4-H organizational leaders throughout the state of Louisiana; seventy-seven percent were returned. Eight hypotheses were tested and a correlation, chi-square, analysis of variance and regression analysis were run. Findings strongly indicate that organizational leaders will respond to Extension agents in order to help boys and girls get the maximum benefit from the 4-H program.
