Evans, cited reference, The Extension agent works in a social system that has two parts: a knowledge center and a client group. The agent functions in this work environment to link the resources of the knowledge center to the needs of the client system. In so doing, he is expected to play, either singly or in combination, the roles of analyst, advisor, advocator, and/or innovator. The authors define and discuss these four roles, in the attempt to help the Extension worker to better understand his work environment as he performs as a change agent. (original)
