Influence Of Group Dynamics Factors On Technology Transfer Effectiveness Among Members And Non-Members Of Soybean Grower Groups In Chiangmai, Thailand
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the group dynamics factors adapted from selected group behaviour models influence the technology transfer effectiveness (TTE) of the soybean grower group (SOG) farmers and non-soybean grower group (non-SOG) farmers. The correlational stud...

| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the group
dynamics factors adapted from selected group behaviour models influence the
technology transfer effectiveness (TTE) of the soybean grower group (SOG)
farmers and non-soybean grower group (non-SOG) farmers.
The correlational study employed the survey research methodology. The
data collection tools included personal interview and self-administered
questionnaire. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select
200 soybean farmers from 24 villages and 24 extension agents within
Chiangmai province. Descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency, t-test,
Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, and discriminant analysis) were used
to analyse the data.
The study revealed that the technology transfer effectiveness (TTE) in
both SGG members and non-SOG members was high. In comparison, the
SOG members' TTE was significantly higher than the non-SOG members. |
