Abstract

Abstract: The introduction of agricultural managers played an important role in improving the governance structure of farmer cooperatives, enhancing the organization's human capital stock and the cooperation performance. However, complex decision-making processes, fragmented membership and an increasingly competitive environment can also put managers under pressure. Based on the field survey data of 207 cooperative agricultural managers in Sichuan province, the relationship between the pressure of agricultural managers and the performance of farmer cooperatives was studied from the two dimensions of challenge and obstacle by using the structural equation model. The results showed that the standardized path coefficient values of challenging pressure represented by workload and career development were 0.204 and 0.259, respectively, which had a significant positive impact on cooperative performance. The standardized path coefficient value of obstructive pressure represented by role conflict was -0.276, which had a significant negative impact on cooperative performance. Different dimensions of stress present different performance attributes. Challenging pressures such as workload and career development contribute to the improvement of cooperative performance, while hindering pressures such as role conflict reduce the performance of cooperative. Therefore, suggestions were put forward to alleviate the pressure of agricultural managers and improve the performance of cooperatives from three aspects internal system, external environment and managers themselves.

Key words: workload, career development, role conflict, cooperative performance
