Workplace Issues in Extension--A Delphi Study of Extension Educators
Kroth, Michael; Peutz, Joey
Journal of Extension, v49 n1 Article 1RIB1 Feb 2011
Using the Delphi technique, expert Extension educators identified and prioritized those workplace issues they believe will be the most important to attract, motivate, and retain Extension educators/agents over the next 5 to 7 years. Obtaining and then utilizing a talented, highly motivated workforce during a period when many will be retiring will depend upon thoughtful long-range planning by Extension leadership.
