Özet:

 The study assessed the leadership effectiveness among the executives and members of farmers cooperative societies in Osun State, Nigeria. A structured interview schedule was used to gather quantitative data from 50 executives and 75 members of farmers cooperative societies across the state. Data were processed through IBM SPSS version 23. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that the majority 84, 78.7 of leaders and members were male and members were male while 98, 94.5  were married with a mean age of 47.46  13.73 and 40.36  10.13 years. Also, the majority of the cooperative leaders emerged through election and mostly selected into leadership position based on active participation in cooperative activites. The majority of the leaders were very effective in leading discussions during meetings mean2.90 and managing cooperatives operations mean2.63. Also, irregular payment of loans and inadequate trainings were the problems facing leadership effectiveness. Years of farming experience r 0.788 and years of cooperative membership r 0.731 were significantly related to leadership effectiveness. It is concluded that, in order to enhance leaders effectiveness and consequently, agricultural development, capacity building through regular training, and workshops should be organised by relevant stakeholders.

 Bu çalışmada, Nijeryanın Osun Eyaletindeki çiftçi kooperatifi derneklerinin yöneticileri ve üyeleri arasındaki liderlik etkinliği değerlendirilmiştir. Eyalet çapındaki çiftçi kooperatiflerinin 50 yöneticisinden ve 75 üyesinden niceliksel veri toplamak için yapılandırılmış bir görüşme programı kullanılmıştır. Veriler IBM SPSS sürüm 23 aracılığıyla işlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı ve çıkarımsal istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, lider ve üyelerin çoğunluğunun 84, 78,7 erkek, üyelerin ise erkek olduğunu, ortalama yaşlarının ise 47,4613,73 ve 40,3610,13 yıl olduğunu, 98, 94,5 evli olduklarını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Ayrıca kooperatif liderlerinin çoğunluğu seçim yoluyla ortaya çıkmış ve çoğunlukla kooperatif faaliyetlerine aktif katılıma dayalı olarak liderlik pozisyonuna seçilmişlerdir. Liderlerin çoğunluğunun toplantılar sırasındaki tartışmaları yönlendirmede ortalama2,90 ve kooperatif operasyonlarını yönetmede ortalama2,63 oldukça etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kredilerin düzensiz ödenmesi ve yetersiz eğitimler de liderliğin etkinliğinin karşılaştığı sorunlar arasındadır. Çiftçilik deneyimi yılı r 0,788 ve kooperatif üyeliği yılı r 0,731 liderlik etkinliği ile önemli ölçüde ilişkili görülmüştür. Liderlerin etkinliğini ve dolayısıyla tarımsal kalkınmayı artırmak için ilgili paydaşlar tarafından düzenli eğitimler yoluyla kapasite geliştirme ve çalıştaylar düzenlenmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
