Abstract
Organizational culture plays a part in the day-to-day atmosphere encountered by educators within the Extension organization. Many factors influence the culture including perceived job satisfaction, morale, support and barriers. The initial guidance of this study was based on work by Fosters and Seevers (2003) that reviewed the barriers women face in agricultural and Extension education, as well as the lack of mentoring networks and support groups. The purpose of this research was to measure the level of perceived barriers by Extension educators and the perceived effectiveness of available support programs. The survey population consisted of 224 University of Missouri Extension specialists and educators, and used an internet-based survey questionnaire.
