Measuring Organizational Effectiveness in Institutions of Higher Education
Abstract
The following are some of the criticisms which have been advanced concerning the goal approach to effectiveness: (1) There is a focus on official or management goals to the exclusion of the organizational member, organizational constituency, and societal goals (Blau and Scott, 1961; Scriven, 1967). (2) There is neglect of implicit, latent, or informal procedures and goals (Merton, 1957). (3) There is neglect of the multiple and contradictory nature of organizational goals (Rice, 1963). (4) Environmental influences on the organization and its goals are ignored (Lawrence and Lorsch, 1969). (5) Organizational goals are retrospective and serve to justify organizational action, not to direct it (Weich, 1969). (6) Organizational goals change as contextual factors and organizational behavior change (Warner, 1967; Pfiffner, 1977).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
