Book Description
The purposes of this study were to: (1) describe the qualities of the organizational climate of North Carolina Cooperative Extension (NCCE) as perceived by selected employee groups, (2) to explore associations of the organizational climate with a management system, and (3) to assess how organizational climate changed when compared to selected findings in the Manzo-Ramos (1997) study of the same organization. Organizational climate is a construct that developed in social psychology and organizational management to describe the perceived patterns of psychological and social experiences of employees of organizations. The climate construct is based upon Gestalt psychology (Lewin, 1951) and suggests that the social process of a setting, such as a workplace, is part of a larger context resulting in patterns of experiences and behaviors and employee perceptions about their organization. This study asked employees about their level of satisfaction regarding behaviors and experiences that were expected or observed in NCCE. Organizational climate, the dependent variable of this study, was measured using the Personal Assessment of Organizational Climate which includes eight categories to assess employees' perceptions in specific areas of interest to NCCE. The eight climate categories were: influence from upper management, middle management and current supervisor related to individual behaviors and organizational processes associated with these administrative levels and the organization; communications concerned the extent to which employees received and gave information to and from other employees; collaboration related to the extent to which employees perceived there was cooperation, teamwork and mutual interest to work together; organizational structure items concerned organizational process and work expectations; work design related to the employee's capacity, skill, and alignment to do their work, and services to the public related to the ways the organization seeks to and.

Book Description
The Cooperative Extension Service, a publicly supported educational agency, is continually struggling to define its proper function and purpose in our changing society. Should its mission be broadly based or narrowly focused? Should staff members be generalists or specialists? Should its clients be primarily rural or urban, farm or nonfarm? What role should Extension play in the information networks of the twenty-first century? Professors Warner and Christenson take a broad look at these and other questions concerning where the Extension Service has been, how well it is doing, and where it ought to go. Theirs is, first, the only comprehensive national survey that looks at the total Extension organization rather than at just one program area. Second, it expresses the viewpoint of Extension clients and the public, rather than that of the organization's staff; and third, it combines outside survey information with data recorded in the Extension Management Information System (EMIS) and other routine agency reports. The authors evaluate, among other things, the extent of public awareness of the agency and its four major program areas (agriculture, home economics, 4-H, and community development), determine the users and nonusers of the programs and the accessibility of programs to the general population, identify the level of satisfaction with existing programs, and outline priorities and policy issues for the future.
