The sample size was 250 and they were selected through stratified sampling. The data were analyzed by SPSS and LISRAL software. The result of the spearman correlation coefficient showed that there was meaningful and positive relationship between perception of respondents about psychological, educational and managerial factors and job creation in agricultural production cooperatives.
