Farmer’s producer organizations are those in which farmers become members of the organization to reap the benefits of collective purchase of inputs, machinery and use of resources, new technology and practices, thereby eliminating the middle men returning high profits to the farmers. As employees are considered as the resource of an organization, it is necessary to look at their job performance, identify the gap and take necessary steps to improve their performance. The present study was carried out in zone III i.e., Rajanna Siricilla of state Telangana which comprising of five districts. Both the state and zone were selected purposively on the basis of the largest number of FPOs in the country. Of the 66 FPOs in the zone, 40 FPOs were selected proportionately from each district and randomly within the district. From each FPO, 5 respondents were randomly selected making a total sample of 200 respondents. Data was collected through personal interview following a structured schedule.
