The study was conducted in Yemen to study the information seeking behavior (ISB) of agricultural research and extension personnel. 189 specialists served as respondents from different parts of Yemen. Some characteristics of researchers like social participation, job satisfaction, role awareness, and attitude towards R-E linkages had shown a positive and significant relationship with their ISB. Similarly, the extensionist's attitude
towards job, knowledge on communication methods and techniques, satisfaction with resources & facilities and role awareness had manifested a positive and significant association with their ISB. Those characteristics, therefore, need to be given due attention by the concerned agencies in
order to enhance the ISB of the research and extension personnel and thereby foster the R-E linkages as wen as ultimately improve the research and extension programs.
