Numerous organizations have increasingly realized that their most important resources are human. Furthermore, two important domains in the field of human resources have been distinguished: Human Resource Management (HRM), and Human Resource Development (HRD). These two fields are interrelated and have a significant influence on organizational performance. This is especially true in extension services, of which the major commitments are education, training, and development. Therefore, this research has focused upon to the situation of HRM and HRD in the agricultural extension system of Iran. Formal agricultural extension services began more than 50 years ago in Iran, and endeavors have been particularly accomplished in this field after the revolution of 1979. Nevertheless, there still are a number of barriers and restrictions which hampering extension procedures, and as a result extension, has not been appropriately successful or satisfactory for farmers throughout the years. In order to explore what could be done to support extension systems and facilitate its evolution, several studies have been conducted in Iran. These studies indicate that no sufficient efforts are being made towards HRD and HRM in agricultural extension in Iran. Therefore, this research pays specific attention to the obstacles in the field of HRM/HRD in agricultural extension organizations in Iran. Finally, recommendations will be presented to overcome the barriers observed.
Amirani (2001) contended that agricultural extension system in Iran, with a history of
more than 50 years, has still not been able to reach and support all potential clientele.
Therefore, he stressed that these services need to be reconstructed or revitalized, particularly
with regards to HRM. There are also direct implications for agricultural extension in the area
of capacity building, since by definition the concept and process of HRD has both formal and
informal education at its core.
However, tight budgets, hiring freezes, and layoffs are the reality for present extension
and education Service worldwide, not just Iran. These problems can be linked to weak HRM.
Therefore, researchers within this field must look to answer the question of How do we
survive times of limited resources?" The solution may be found in a careful study of our
human resources (Crowder, 1996). Several studies have indicated that low effort is being
made towards HRD and HRM in agricultural extension in Iran (karami, 1982, 1993, 1995 &
