Önce katılımcıların demografik özellikleri sıklık ve yüzde değerleri itibariyle incelenmiştir. Sonra katılımcıların tükenmişlik anketinin üç ve iş doyum anketinin iki alt ölçeğine verdikleri karşılıkların ortalamalarının mesleki unvanları ve işletmedeki konumlarına göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının analizi tek yönlü anova ile yapılmıştır. Duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarı alt ölçeklerinden orta düzeyde tükenmişlik tespit edilmiştir. Bu ölçeklerdeki ifadelerin ortalamaları “çok nadir” ile “bazen” arasındadır. Meslek mensupları mesleki kariyerlerinde ilerledikçe duygusal tükenmişlik düzeyleri azalmaktadır. Minesota iş doyum anketindeki ifadelere verilen karşılıkların ortalamaları “memnunum” ve “kesinlikle memnunum” arasındadır. Ruhsat sahibi olmak ve buna yaklaşmak iş doyumunu arttıran bir faktördür. Ayrıca meslek mensubu işletme sahipliğine doğru ilerledikçe iş doyumu artmaktadır.Öğe Productivity determinants of potato in Nigeria: An autoregressive distributed lag model approach(Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2018) Onwusiribe, Ndubuisi Chigozirim; Agwu, Nnanna Mba; Mbanasor, Jude AnayochukwuThis study examined the productivity determinants of potato in Nigeria. The data for this study were extracted from secondary sources for a period of 1961-2016. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was adopted. The findings revealed that variables such as capital, land, fertilizer and prices were significant both in the long-run and short-run while rainfall and temperature were insignificant in the short-run. The study recommends among others that access to capital by the potato farmers should be increased by making more capital available for loans and grants at a reduced interest rate and that the land tenure system in operation should be made flexible to enable potato farmers access more land to enable mechanization and increased output.Öğe Effect of post-harvest losses of tomato fruits on the income of the marketers in federal capital territory, Abuja, Nigeria(Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2018) Ojo, Alaba Olanike; Ojo, Michael Akindele; Mustapha, AminaPost-harvest losses of food crops, especially fruits and vegetables, are common phenomena in developing countries. Data were analysed with Ordinary Least Square technique and descriptive statistics. The results revealed that tomato marketing was male-dominated with a mean age of 36 years. The findings also revealed a gini-coefficient of 0.4 and that quantity of tomato fruits, time tomato fruits spent on farm after maturity and time taken before tomato is sold to consumers had significant effect on the income of the marketers. The major constraints faced by the marketers included bad road, inadequate storage facilities and, seasonality. It is therefore recommended that government should encourage the establishment of more tomato processing industries to purchase excess tomato fruits during the glut season.Öğe Meeting European Union's food and agricultural products imports standards: Challenges and opportunities for developing countries(Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2018) İliyasu, Abdullahi; Zainalabidin, MohamedThis paper aims to examine the European Union (EU) sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPSS) regulations and Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) mode of operation for importing food and agricultural products from developing countries.

Although there is no any barrier for trade to EU markets, but the stringent sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPSS) make it difficult for developing countries to export their Food and Agricultural Products into EU markets.Öğe Economic assessment of dual purpose type of cattle farming in Minahasa Regency – Indonesia(Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi, 2018) Wantasen, Erwin; Paputungan, UmarThe aim of this study was to analyze dual purpose type of cattle farm households’ economy in Langowan District Minahasa Regency, Indonesia.
