Abstract

The present study attempts to examine the relationship between work performance and work attitudes (job satisfaction, turnover intentions and job specific self-efficacy). Participants were a sample of 150 scientists randomly selected from the Agriculture Extension Centres in Haryana. They were in the age range of 26 to 65 years. The results indicated that both job satisfaction and self-efficacy are significantly positively correlated with work performance of scientists. Furthermore, the results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between turnover intentions and work performance. Thus, the analysis indicated that work performance is significantly related to all these variables.
