The study was conducted during 2016-17 in Udupi district of Karnataka state of India. The farmers who are registered for mobile agro-advisory services for receiving all agricultural information through SMS were considered as a target group for the study. There were 4000 registered Agro-met Advisory users and 1400 registered users in KVK. Among those registered farmers 40 farmers from each existing three taluks viz. Udupi, Karkala & Kundapur were selected as respondents for the study. Thus the sample size of the study comprises of 120 respondents. The contribution of selected independent variable with the knowledge and adoption were analysed. It could be observed from the results that, ‘F' value (6.412) obtained was significant at one per cent level of significance indicating that all the independent variables put together contributed significantly to the variation in the extent of the knowledge level of the farmers. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.5316, which revealed that the variation in the extent of knowledge about mobile messages by the farmers was together explained by all the independent variables selected for the study. It could be observed from the results that, ‘F' value (5.160) obtained was significant at one per cent level of significance indicating that, all the independent variables put together contributed significantly to the variation in the extent of adoption of mobile agro-advisory services by the farmers. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.408, which revealed that the variation in the extent of adoption of mobile agro-advisory services by the farmers was together explained by all the independent variables selected for the study. Hence, the present study helps the Krishi Vignan Kendras (KVKs) and Government for further improvement in providing mobile agro-advisory services to the farming community.

This study was aimed at learning about the reality of work ethics practices in human resource management. This work was performed in conjunction with organizations that are affiliated with public services, such as Greater Irbid Municipality. It measured their effectiveness in raising the standard of performance. Additionally, the aim of the study is to identify the most important fields of application of work ethics in human resource management (attracting human resources, training and development, remuneration and rewards, and evaluating employees). The study begins with addressing the problem through the aforementioned main premise. However, there was no statistically significant impact at a=0.05 level of significance for work ethics practices in human resource management to improve the performance of the workers of Greater Irbid Municipality. Following up the descriptive analytical method, the study has shown that there is a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of work ethics practices in human resource management in improving the performance of Greater Irbid Municipality. The sample of the study was made up of a population of 350 employees of Greater Irbid Municipality, who were selected by random method. The study analyzes the aforementioned items under two hypothetical theories using the well-known six statistical methods. The methods showed that the samples fell in a range greater than 0.05 ≥ α which were proven to be within a normal distribution. Additionally, the linear correlation test showed that the inflation coefficient of variation (VIF) is ranged between 2.22 and 4.30, while the Tolerance value for all independent variables greater than 0.05 ranged between 0.23 and 0.45. Therefore, it can be said that there is no high correlation problem between independent variables. This enhances the possibility of finding out which of the independent variables have a statistically significant impact on development variables, as well as to know the percentage of that impact factor. Furthermore, the methods showed the correlation between dependent and independent variable, giving a value greater than 0.77 and an R-square value of 0.58. This is statistically significant, which reveals the effectiveness of work ethics of human resource management in influencing the performance level.
