Abstract

The research aimed to identify the constraints of implementation of  information and communication (ICT) from the perspective of workers in the central administration of agricultural extension through; identification of the most important impediments to  (ICT); identify and rank these obstacles according to their importance from the viewpoint of the respondents, and to identify proposals on the subjects to solve these constraints for the application of (ICT), also to determine the relationship between the importance of these obstacles from the perspective of the respondents, and among some of the personal characteristics studied.
The study included a sample of (59) respondents represented all agricultural engineers working in the Central Administration for Agricultural Extension. Data were collected by personal interviews, using a personal questionnaire. Percentages, frequencies, arithmetic means, standard deviations, simple correlation coefficients were used for analyzing and data by SPSS program.
Following the summary of the most important findings:
-    The most important impediments against implementation of (ICT) were related to the work environment, then related to Internet, and finally on the computerized.
-    Obstacles to applications of (ICT) were on the degree of importance of medium and important from the point of view of the respondents.
-    The results pointed positive and significant correlation at the level of probability (0.01) to (0.05) among the importance of these constraints from the viewpoint of respondents, and some independent variables studied.
The results revealed the presence of some problems and suggestions to solve them from their point of view.
