碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 經營管理研究所 === 89 === The Church Management Performance Measures and Its Applications on the Church Operations ABSTRACT From discovering the Church Management Performance Measures to which the information it provides and through application of it, I hope to help pastors and co-workers of churches appropriately and efficiently complete our Great Missions commanded by the Lord and also letting people know more about management and performances of churches. After referencing, discussing, and statistically processing, the Church Management Performance Measures are provided. With the Mean-Variance analysis, we understand pastors and co-workers of churches are very much concerned about (B.) the Growth and Dedication of Each Individual Member, (D.) the Team Morale of Co-workers, (V.) and the Relationship Among Members. With the Factor analysis, four important dimensions are found: The ''Quality'' Within the Church, The Contribution and Influence Outward Through Its Service, The ''Quantity'' Within the Church, and The Liveliness Of It''s Service Presented Outward. After applying the Performance-Measuring Matrix, the micro and entire performances of the churches are presented concretely. Using this method, pastors and co-workers can learn more about the operating conditions of their churches and try to maintain or improve some ministry areas. As the result of quasi-economic models and mathematics shows, we should do our best to spread the Gospel outward and keep an adequate number of members per unit church to look after both ''quality'' and ''quantity''. If one church is too large, it should practice the cell church structure method inside or expand branches outward to maintain a high ''quality'' while increasing its ''quantity''.
