520 |a The major point of this paper is as follows: research and evaluation are not additional tools for a religious leader; instead, they form a perspective from which the effective administrator approaches all his decisions. Hence, the person (or committee) who makes decisions for religious programs will be most effective when he (it) develops an empirically and theologically based evaluation system containing appropriate data input and feedback mechanisms. To explicate the above, we shall begin with a brief discussion of the conditions under which people reach relatively accurate decisions and conclude that empirically based information is usually, but not always, vital. Then the development of the information a person or committee needs to reach more accurate decisions, an area generally referred to as research and evaluation, is discussed. In the concluding section, we set forth some of the implications of this discussion for those utilizing information to make decisions concerning religious programs. The present paper is designed as an introductory discussion which stresses a perspective rather than the details of evaluation and research. In-depth discussions of more technical problems are available elsewhere.
