Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nstudy comes to reveal the farmer’s perception of the level of accountability in\nagricultural extension in Jordan, and the effect of some social and economic\ncharacteristics on this perception. In this study, the researcher relied on the\nquantitative and analytical approach, whereby a sample consisting of 264\nfarmers was taken, and a descriptive analysis was used to estimate the degree\nof farmers’ perception of the level of accountability in agricultural extension\nin Jordan. Logistic regression analysis was also used to investigate the impact\nof participants ‘social and economic characteristics on farmers’ perception of\nthe level of accountability. The study concluded that the level of\naccountability of extension services as viewed by farmers has come at a\nmoderate degree, as it was found that the age, qualification, number of family\nmembers and the number of times of communication affect positively, while the\nvalue of the impact of the number of family members has an adverse effect. As\nfor gender, experience, income, style, training, and marital status, they were\nnot statistically significant in their effect. Based on the results, the study\nrecommends conducting awareness-raising seminars for farmers about their rights\nas clients in the extension process, and that the design of agricultural\nextension policies be based on ensuring extension accountability by farmers,\nand that agricultural extension systems in the public sector in Jordan\nundertake reforms that include demand-based approaches Decentralization to\nincrease the impact of extension on agriculture and agricultural growth in\nJordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
