Abstract: The study region in focus is Semen Bench Woreda. The primary focus of the study is to examine the factors that determine employees’ job satisfaction. This involves understanding how working environment, benefits, promotion opportunities, recognition, and the nature of work contribute to the overall satisfaction of employees in Semen Bench Woreda's public sectors. By honing in on these specific factors, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of job satisfaction within this regional context. The study's findings present a valuable insight into human resources management specific to Semen Bench Woreda. The identified factors—working environment, benefit packages, promotion opportunities, recognition, and the nature of work—hold significant weight in influencing employees' job satisfaction. The study's recommendation for public sector top managers to effectively manage these aspects highlights a crucial insight for human resources management within the region. By recognizing the importance of these factors and their impact on job satisfaction, the study offers a fresh, region-specific perspective on human resources management. This insight can guide local public sector management in implementing targeted strategies to enhance job satisfaction and, by extension, the overall well-being and performance of employees in Semen Bench Woreda. Understanding the unique regional dynamics and tailoring management strategies accordingly is essential for fostering a positive work environment and maximizing employee satisfaction. This localized approach is likely to yield more effective and relevant human resources management practices for the region.

Abstract: The activity was conducted in 2018/19 main cropping season at Daro Lebu and Habro districts of West Hararghe zone. Two improved Haricot bean varieties namely Awash-2 and Carcar were demonstrated with the objectives of to evaluate improved variety of Haricot bean under farmer’s condition and to enhance farmers’ skill & knowledge on haricot bean production through participatory demonstration in the study area. Two kebeles (one kebele from each district) were selected purposively based on haricot bean production potential. A total of seven farmers; two from Daro Lebu and five from Habro district were used for demonstration. Single plot with 10mx10m area were used on each farmer’s field for each variety. Yield of each variety was collected from each farmer and analyzed through descriptive statistics. On the other hand, farmer’s preferences were collected and analyzed by using simple rank analysis. Financial analysis was also used to analyze the economic benefit gained from the experiment. The result of the study revealed that improved varieties had yield advantage over the local check. The highest yield (1550 kg/ha) was recorded by Carcar variety with 25% yield advantage over the local check under farmers practices. On the other hand, Awash-2 Varity was ranked 1st then followed by Carcar as 2nd based on numbers of pod per plant, numbers seed per pod, seed size, early maturity, drought tolerant and disease resistance identified as selection criteria Therefore, Awash-2 & Carcar varieties were recommended for further scaling up to enhance haricot bean productivity under smallholder farmers.
