The inappropriate use of pesticides has created side effects such as resistance to pesticides, outbreak of new or secondary pests, environmental toxicity, and human health issues. The aim of this study was to investigate which factors influence green house workers’ attitudes to pesticide use in a case study of 50 greenhouse workers in Hashtgerd city, Iran. Using Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis, variables influenced on farmers’ attitude to pesticide use classified into five latent variables named Extension-Educational, Economic, Legal, Technical, and Social factors. The regression results indicated that two factors named Extension-Educational and Legal factors affected the Greenhouse Workers’ attitude towards pesticide use. These factors could totally explained 36.2% of variance. So based on results, training programs can play a crucial role in pest control decisions, providing farmers with the technical knowledge that is necessary for the selection of appropriate pest management methods and also for safe and effective pesticide use.
