Abstract: AMORNSANGUANSIN, JINTANA, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, October, 1986. Extension Role Performances of RFD Field Forest Officers in a Forest Village Program in Northeast Thailand. Major Professor: Dr. Sinesio M. Mariano. The purpose of this study was to find out: (1) demographic characteristics of RFD forest officers in forest village programs in Northeast Thailand; (2) some of the roles they play while performing their extension duties, functions and responsibilities; (3) their attitudes toward the nature of their jobs and target clientele; (4) the problems encountered with regard to clientele, area of assignment and program implementation; (5) the relationship between extension role performances and selected variables; (6) the difference between their extension role performances as perceived by themselves and clientele. Twenty-eight forest officers and two hundred and fifty-six clientele were the subjects of this study. The former, by self-survey questionnaire and the latter, by interviews. Findings showed that forest officer-respondents had a mean age of 31 years. Majority of them were married, and all of them had educational background in forestry. Their average length of employment in the forest village program was 3 years, while their training experiences ranged from 0-1158 hours. Slightly over one-half had favourable attitudes toward their job in the program; however, the number of respondents with favourable attitude toward clientele, was equal that with unfavourable attitude. Majority had "more problems" with clientele while slightly over one-half had "less problems" with both clientele and program implementation. The chi-square test indicated that only one variable, namely training experience regarding the program, was found to have significant relationship to extension role performances of forest officers. The sign test showed that there were no differences between extension role performances of forest officers, as perceived by themselves and as perceived by clientele.

AMORNSANGUANSIN, JINTANA, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, October, 1986. Extension Role Performances of RFD Field Forest Officers in a Forest Village Program in Northeast Thailand. Major Professor: Dr. Sinesio M. Mariano.

The purpose of this study was to find out: (1) demographic characteristics of RFD forest officers in forest village programs in Northeast Thailand; (2) some of the roles they play while performing their extension duties, functions and responsibilities; (3) their attitudes toward the nature of their jobs and target clientele; (4) the problems encountered with regard to clientele, area of assignment and program implementation; (5) the relationship between extension role performances and selected variables; (6) the difference between their extension role performances as perceived by themselves and clientele.

Twenty-eight forest officers and two hundred and fifty-six clientele were the subjects of this study. The former, by self-survey questionnaire and the latter, by interviews.

Findings showed that forest officer-respondents had a mean age of 31 years. Majority of them were married, and all of them had educational background in forestry. Their average length of employment in the forest village program was 3 years, while their training experiences ranged from 0-1158 hours. Slightly over one-half had favourable attitudes toward their job in the program; however, the number of respondents with favourable attitude toward clientele, was equal that with unfavourable attitude.

Majority had "more problems" with clientele while slightly over one-half had "less problems" with both clientele and program implementation.

The chi-square test indicated that only one variable, namely training experience regarding the program, was found to have significant relationship to extension role performances of forest officers.

The sign test showed that there were no differences between extension role performances of forest officers, as perceived by themselves and as perceived by clientele.
