چکیده مقاله :
This research was carried out to investigate the role of legal, philosophical, economic, environmental, educational attitudes and some personal characteristics in farmers' professionalism in the production of optimal wheat in the north of Khuzestan Province, Iran. The methodological approach in this research was casual relative and applied survey. The data were collected by a survey and a questionnaire as the main research instruments. The samples comprised all wheat growers in Northern Khuzestan. Three hundred and ten farmers were selected by using a Cochran's formula through random sampling out of 23,485 wheat farmers of Northern Khuzestan. Finally, 302 questionnaires were analyzed. The questionnaire was developed from a review of the related literature. The content and face validity of the instruments were established after several times of review and correction by the faculty members of Azad University of Garmsar. The questionnaire and data were analyzed by the help of SPSS v21 software package. The reliability was reported to be 0.81 using a Cronbach's alpha. Stepwise regression analysis indicated the most important variable that accounted for 77.2% of the variance of the dependent variable was the economic variable. The next variables (environmental, legal components, and educational attitudes processes) captured 86.5% of the variance of optimal wheat production.
چکیده انگلیسی:
این تحقیق با هدف بررسی نقش نگرش فلسفی، اقتصادی، محیطی، آموزشی و برخی ویژگی های شخصی کشاورزان در تولید گندم در شمال استان خوزستان انجام شد. نوع تحقیق کاربردی بود مه به شیوه علی ارتباطی انجام شد. داده ها با استفاده از روش تحقیق پیمایشی و با استفاده از پرسشنامه به عنوان ابزار اصلی پژوهش جمع آوری شد. نمونه ها شامل تمام تولید کنندگان گندم در شمال خوزستان از جمله دزفول، اندیمشک و شهرستان شوش (بر اساس تعداد کشاورزان گندم) بود. 310 کشاورز با استفاده از فرمول کوکران از طریق انتخاب تصادفی از 23485 تن گندم خوزستان شمالی انتخاب شدند. در نهایت 302 پرسشنامه مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت. داده های پژوهش با استفاده از رگرسیون گام به گام مورد تجزیه و تحلیل آماری قرار گرفت. پرسشنامه از طریق مرور ادبیات برای جمع آوری داده ها تهیه شد. روایی ابزار پس از چندین بار بررسی و تصحیح توسط اعضای هیات علمی ترویج وآموزش کشاورزی در دانشگاه آزاد گرمسار تایید گردید. اعتبار پرسشنامه توسط گروهی از کارشناسان بررسی وپایائی آن پس از اعمال ضریب کرونباخ 0.81گزارش شد (در مجموع 30 پرسشنامه در مناطق مشابه در استان خوزستان تکمیل شد). تحلیل رگرسیون گام به گام نشان داد که مهم ترین عامل موثر بر تولید مطلوب گندم، عوامل اقتصادی کشاورزان است. مهمترین متغیر که واریانس متغیر وابسته را توضیح داد، متغیرهای اقتصادی با 77.2٪ درصد بود. پس از آن، متغیرهای (محیط زیست، اجزای قانونی و فرآیندهای آموزشی- نگرشی) قرار دارند که 5/86٪ از واریانس تولید بهینه گندم را تشکیل دادند
