| Abstract | ||||
| The research aimed to determine the level of capabilities of agricultural extension workers in the field of agricultural technology transfer in the Republic of Iraq, determine the relative importance of agricultural technology transfer fields, and determine the percentage of the contribution of the studied independent variables in explaining the total variation in the level of their abilities. To achieve the objectives of the study, the data were collected for five months of using a questionnaire with a personal interview for a random sample of agricultural extension workers, which were determined using the Thomson equation. Frequencies, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, and multiple stepwise regression analysis methods for analyzing the research data. The results indicated a low level of the capabilities of workers in the field of agricultural technology transfer, as the highest category of respondents was within the low category with a rate of (55.6%), and the field of agricultural systems ranked first with relative importance (53.36%), and the field of evaluation came in the last rank with relative importance (42.28%), there is a correlation between the level of abilities and several independent factors, and these variables contributed to explaining (77%) of the variance in the degree of employee abilities level. The research recommends that the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture develop the capabilities of workers in the field of agricultural technology transfer through training courses and work to inform workers of what is new in the field of agricultural technology transfer | ||||
