Banganan, G.C.
The major demographic and socio-economic factors that influenced the effectiveness of an association were the respondents' size of landholding, family income, and tenurial status while the socio-psychological factors related to effectiveness were the discipline of members, and satisfaction of derived benefits. Among the organizational factors, funds availability and communication pattern influenced effectiveness. Only financial assistance was significantly correlated with the various effectiveness variables. The predictors of effectiveness were as follows: a) number of meetings held - funds availability; b) number of projects initiated - communication pattern; c) irrigation fee collection rate - tenurial status; d) financial management - funds availability and communication pattern; e) voluntary works - size of landholding, funds availability, and communication pattern; f) cooperation - size of landholding and funds availability; g) water management - no predictors at all; h) condition of canal and irrigation structures - satisfaction of derived benefits, funds availability and communication pattern; i) conflict resolution - tenurial status and funds availability; j) yield-size of landholding and funds availability; and k) linkage - size of landholding, tenurial status, funds availability and communication pattern
