Abstract: Agribusiness productivity depends on the effectiveness of people. As employers can better specify the characteristics associated with successful employment and successful ascension within their organizations, prospective agribusiness employees can better target personal and professional development. Similarly, knowledge of success factors can be helpful in determination of appropriate curricula for high school, community college and university agriculture and agribusiness programs. This article describes results of a survey in which agribusiness employers identified characteristics associated with successful employment in agribusiness. These results may be useful for students in their selection of training and development opportunities and for employers in their selection of persons who are aspiring to agribusiness positions.
