Year: 2014
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to find out how readiness for change, change beliefs and resistance to change exist between extension personnel in the New Valley governorate about mobile extension, and to determine which of the two proposed models fit with the current study. Data were collected from 103 personnel or 85.1% of the total number of extension personnel in this governorate (121 Personnel) by questionnaire. The three scales used in this study pointed out that the respondents are ready for implementing the mobile extension initiative, they have the adherent beliefs for this change, and their support to the change is greater than their resistance to it. The various indices of overall goodness of fit lent sufficient support for the results to be an acceptable representation of model (1), which indicates that the respondents develop change beliefs around what they perceived about the change (readiness), then they form their behavior of either support of or resist to the change.
