Abstract: | Agricultural Extension Agents had to demonstrate excellent job performance so as to convince the national as well as the local development policy makers to allocate sufficient funds for sustaining agricultural extension activities to support agricultural and rural development. In this relation, the objectives of this study were to: (1) identify internal factors affecting the agricultural extension agents’ performance in promoting corn production in Gorontalo province, (2) determine the joint effects of such factors and the agents’ performance on corn farmers’ behavior, (3) assess the extent of relationship amongst those factors affecting the agents’performance in promoting the corn production, and (4) determine the impact of the agents’ performance on the corn farmers’ behavior. The study was designed as an ex post facto research. Data were collected from a randomly selected sample consisted of 118 agents and 236 corn farmers. They were interviewed in February through April 2010. The data obtained were analyzed following the Structural Equation Model (SEM) procedure. The findings demonstrated that the agents’ characteristics, competencies, motivation and self-reliance affected the agents’ performance significantly as indicated by the following coefficients: -0,30, 0,88, 0,22 and -0,31 significant at α = 0,05. The R2 of the four variables was 0,74 significant at α = 0,05 also. Therefore, the joint effects of the four variables on the agents’ performance was 74%. The rest 26 % were the effects of the other variables that were not observed in this study. Further, the direct impact of the agents’ performance on the corn farmers’ behavior was 0,83, significant at α = 0,05. So, every single unit increase of the agents’ performance would improve a 0,83 unit of the corn farmers’ behavior. The R2 of the effect of the agents’ performance on the corn farmers’ behavior was 0,69, also significant at α = 0.05. This indicated the extent of the agents’ performance affected the corn farmers’ behavior was 69%; whereas the rest 31% was other variables’ effects excluded in this study. Otonomi daerah telah membawa perubahan pada sistem pemerintahan di Indonesia dari sentralistik menjadi desentralistik. Perubahan ini berdampak pada pembangunan. Kini pembangunan daerah harus bertumpu pada kemampuan sendiri untuk memperoleh pendapatan asli daerah (PAD). PAD tersebut diperoleh dari berbagai sumber seperti pajak, restribusi dan lain-lain. Di banyak daerah, pertanian masih menjadi prime mover untuk meningkatkan produktivitas usahatani dan pendapatan masyarakat. Pembangunan pertanian membutuhkan penyuluh untuk mendidik petani agar mengadopsi teknologi pertanian dalam meningkatkan produktivitas usahatani mereka. Dengan cara ini penyuluh membantu pemerintah daerah meningkatkan pendapatan asli daerah. Dalam hubungan ini evaluasi kinerja penyuluh sebagai suatu bentuk akuntabilitas kepada penyedia dana publik dan pembuat kebijakan pembangunan daerah maupun nasional diperlukan. Kedua pengambil kebijakan utama tersebut harus selalu diyakinkan bahwa penyuluh telah melakukan tugas dan fungsinya sesuai dengan amanat undang-undang dan peraturan pemerintah. Kinerja penyuluh yang baik perlu untuk meyakinkan pembuat kebijakan dan anggaran pembangunan agar tetap mengalokasikan cukup dana untuk membiayai penyuluhan dalam menunjang pembangunan daerah. Penyuluh pertanian berusaha mengembangkan program penyuluhan yang sesuai dengan potensi daerah dan permintaan pasar untuk memenuhi berbagai macam kebutuhan masyarakat. Tujuan penelitian adalah: (1) mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor internal yang dapat meningkatkan kinerja penyuluh pertanian dalam mengembangkan usahatani jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo, (2) mengaji pengaruh faktor-faktor internal dan kinerja penyuluh pertanian pada perilaku petani dalam berusahatani jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo, (3) mengaji derajat hubungan faktor-faktor internal yang dapat meningkatkan kinerja penyuluh pertanian dalam mengembangkan usahatani jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo, (4) mengaji dampak kinerja penyuluh pertanian pada perubahan perilaku petani jagung di Provinsi Gorontalo |
