Comparison Between Action Programs Implemented By The Individual., Individuals-Grouped-As-One, And The Family

Henry Y. Goltiano

 

Abstract:

This study determined which action program grouping was more effective. Results showed that action programs formulated by families were implemented more successfully than those formulated by individuals or individuals-grouped-as-one. Respondents claimed that the family was theprimary social group which could provide the most needed support in action program implementation. Moreover, the wife was an important pillar of farm activities because respondents cited that she provided the strongest support and encouragement.
