Abstract

This study examined Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) employees ’personal characteristics and related factors affecting their job performance in Northern Nigeria. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to select 120 employees. Data wereobtained using a structured questionnaire. The results revealed a positive significant relationship between work constraints, farmer, institutional, family and self-related factors affecting ADP employees ’job performance. It is recommended that organisations should put into consideration the related factors in the design of program interventions and their implementation in ensuring a better employee job performance.
