A Study of the Leadership Styles of the Chief Student Affairs Administrators in Southern Baptist Colleges and UniversitiesRichardson, Dennie K. 08 1900 (has links)
The problem with which this investigation was concerned was the level of knowledge about the leadership style of the chief student affairs administrators in Southern Baptist colleges and universities. The four purposes of the study were as follows: 1. To determine the prevalent leadership style of the chief student affairs administrators in Southern Baptist colleges and universities in terms of the Blake and Mouton Managerial Grid concept• 2. To determine if self-reported leadership style is congruent with the leadership style determination obtained through an instrument developed to analyze leadership style; 3. To determine if the following are factors in the leadership choice of the chief student affairs administrators in Southern Baptist colleges and universities: - Size and complexity of the institution. - Age. - Years of experience as a chief student affairs
administrator. - Educational preparation, i.e. academic, administrative, or religious

The Effectiveness of the Hands On Program in Attaining the Stated Goals of the International Mission Board: A Quantitative StudyGayhart, Jeffrey Martin 31 December 2013 (has links)
ABSTRACT
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE HANDS ON PROGRAM
IN ATTAINING THE STATED GOALS OF THE
INTERNATIONAL MISSION BOARD:
A QUANTITATIVE STUDY
Jeffrey Martin Gayhart, Ph.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2013
Chair: Dr. George H. Martin
This dissertation examines the effectiveness of the International Mission Board's Hands On program in reaching stated goals. Chapter 1 introduces the research question by examining the current state of short-term missions (STM) and the Foreign Mission Board/International Mission Board's (FMB/IMB) methodological embrace of STM. This chapter introduces a particular short-term mission (STM) opportunity offered by the IMB, called Hands On. The research questions are addressed by a historical study and by a quantitative study of the effectiveness of the Hands On program.
Chapter 2 is a more in depth historical study of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the history of the FMB/IMB and its embrace of new methodologies, particularly STM. The chapter notes the FMB's initial use of college students for STM assignments, which blossomed into the Journeyman program. The chapter concludes with the FMB's adoption of Bold Mission Thrust as impetus for a more robust student mission strategy, including Hands On.
Chapter 3 is an additional historical sketch for this study that reviews the history of STM and student missions. This chapter explains how the early histories of the SBC and student missions/STM movement parallel one another chronologically but not methodologically. The student missions/STM movement is a historical phenomenon that both informs the IMB's strategy and benefits from the IMB's methodological embrace. Also, this chapter surveys technological and sociological advances that opened the world to shorter-term missionaries.
The final two chapters focus on the results, analysis, and answers to the research problem. Chapter 4 includes the results and findings of the quantitative survey. In addition, this chapter explains the data analysis method of structural equation modeling (SEM), which is used to analyze multivariate data.
Chapter 5 discusses presented resolutions (or lack thereof) to the research problems introduced in Chapter 1. In addition, this chapter includes recommendations for changes in the Hands On program. Finally, this chapter highlights some potential areas for further research.

Antecedents of Commitment to and Support of a Proposed Change Initiative in a Southern Baptist Congregation.Lee, Audra 08 1900 (has links)
This study extends research findings directed at a micro-focus of change by assessing individual organizational members' perspectives and psychological constructs influencing change efforts by an organization. The change initiative in question regards the construction of a new facility and subsequent relocation to said facility. Moral commitment to the organization (negative), change initiative's fit with organizational vision, and social influence significantly contributed to variance in members' affective commitment to change. Trust in leadership and normative commitment to the organization (NCO) significantly contributed to variance in members' normative commitment to change. Continuance commitment to the organization and participation (negative) significantly contributed to variance in members' continuance commitment to change. NCO, change initiative's fit with organizational vision, and participation significantly contributed to variance in support of the proposed change initiative. Affective commitment to the organization (negative), NCO (negative), trust in leadership (negative), and disruption of influence significantly contributed to variance in members' intent to leave the organization.

Gospel missionism (1892-1910) and the Southern Baptist Convention (USA) : prelude to a post-modern missiologyEitel, Keith Eugene, 1954- 08 1900 (has links)
Assessment of the past helps one seize emerging opportunities. The Southern Baptist Convention's (SBC) Foreign Mission Board (FMB) radically redesigned itself July 1, 1997, the most far reaching self-assessment since its 1845 founding. The FMB's changes neglected some essential historical precedents. In 1892, a band of FMB missionaries posted with the North China Mission resigned and established their own operation. They held and integrated three core values: indigeneity, incarnation, and responsible autonomy. Baptist historians have dismissed these dissidents because they considered them Landmarkers (an earlier movement that threatened the SBC itself). Later historical inquiry corrected this assumption demonstrating
that Landmarkers seized the Gospel Mission Movement to serve its
own ends not the reverse. What prorrpted these missionaries to
leave their base of support and operate independently? Original
sources tell the tale of strong convictions about missions that
were more commonly apparent later, in a post-modern era. Gospel
Missionism's peers did not listen, partly because of the Landmarkist confusion and partly because they advocated things others were not prepared to hear.
The Gospel Missioners found it difficult to sustain their experiment outside the SBC. Hence, survivors gradually reentered the FMB structure, primarily the Interior China Mission. Their influence extended to the next generation of missionaries. Yet, indirectly their values entered the FMB's strategies through outside evangelicals which increasingly espoused similar core values. By 1985, the Board tackled the challenge of the least evangelized peoples. Trustees formed Cooperative Services International (CSI) to accommodate the need. Unwittingly, from within the FMB, CSI embodied Gospel Missionism's core values with more modern emphases. In 1997, trustees restructured the FMB and dismantled CSI. They borrowed its drive and its penchant for streamlined administration, but jettisoned its priority passion for those least evangelized. Only time will tell, but there is evidence that the FMB has reverted and embraced elements of an older paradigm, possibly because it was unprepared to face a postmodern future.
This study concludes that the Gospel Missionism movement was
a blending of both enlightenment and post-modern missiological
ideals. It was an incipient, evangelical version of a post-modern
missiological paradigm. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th. (Missiology)
