The research aims to identify the role of electronic management in developing the organizational behavior of workers in agricultural extension within Salah al-Din Governorate / Iraq in general. Moreover, to identify the role of e-management in each of the following research domains (professional competence, improving communication and organizational interaction, commitment and job satisfaction, enhancing organizational culture within agricultural extension institutions) and to identify the significance of differences in determining the role of e-management in developing organizational behavior according to the following variables (years of job service, academic achievement, administrative assignment, technology training, trend towards using electronic communication).The descriptive approach was used in this study as it is appropriate for studying organizational and social phenomena. The questionnaire form was also adopted as the main tool for the process of collecting data and information. It included 28 questions distributed across the organizational behavior axes targeted in the research.The research community included agricultural employees in (the Salah al-Din Agriculture Directorate and the Extension Center) so the total study community became (409) respondents. A simple random sample of 20% was selected, and thus, the research sample became composed of 82 agricultural employees. After statistically analyzing the data, the results showed that the role of electronic management in developing the organizational behavior of agricultural extension workers in Salah al-Din Governorate was generally moderate, as the percentage of the average category was 51.22%. The results also showed the presence of significant differences according to the independent variables studied, which indicates the impact of these variables on the level of the role of electronic management.The results showed that the most prominent challenges facing the application of e-management are the lack of administrative and financial support and the lack of training. The researchers recommended the need to provide sufficient funding to develop the infrastructure and organize periodic training programs for agricultural extension workers, focusing on the less experienced categories to ensure improving their skills in using Electronic systems.
