Best Practices in Catholic Church Ministry Performance Management
The Church is not a business, but it does have a stewardship responsibility to ensure that all of its resources are used as effectively as possible to carry out God's work on earth. In the case of human resource assets, good stewardship involves assisting those engaged in ministry (whether clerical or lay) to achieve their greatest potential through the various components of performance management, including performance assessment. This unique co…

This study analyzes the agency relationship between churches and their clergy.Using data from nine denominations, this study finds strong …
Catholic Parish Organizational Structure and Parish Outcomes
Due to a number of factors, the Catholic Church has in recent years been required to be innovative in the way it organizes its parishes.

R. Hoge, Charles Zech, Patrick McNamara, Michael J. Donahue, The Value of Volunteers as Resources for Congregations, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Vol. 37, No. 3 (Sep., 1998), pp. 470-480
Money Matters
The Optimal Size of a Religious Congregation
The economic theory of clubs model is applied to determine the optimal size of a religious congregation. The optimal size is specified to be where total contributions are maximized. This occurs where the marginal benefits of adding a new member (in terms of contributions gained from that new member) equal the marginal costs of that new member (in terms of contributions lost from existing members). Benefits from adding members include enhanced fel…
