An Application of Survey Research to Private/Parochial Educational Administration. Survey 2.
Becnel, Shirley; And Others
The Christian Brother organization, the largest order of teaching brothers in the Catholic Church, is currently facing a shrinking work force which is forcing the organization to rethink its current allocation of resources. Two surveys were administered to 163 brothers within the New Orleans/Santa Fe district; the response rate for the first survey was 89% and for the second survey, 70%. The purpose of the surveys was to establish a data base upon which to predicate internal decisions affecting the district, the community, and the individual brothers. The data from the first survey were used to draft preliminary proposals for change. The second survey provided specific information regarding the personal perceptions of the brothers. The survey instrument addressed several categories: community life style and training, brothers' perceptions of staffing policies, retirement data, and brothers' expectations of district administrators. The research data from both surveys are included (in the text and in appendix A). The survey findings showed that conservative attitudes were dispersed among young and old. Additionally, the surveys identified worksites that were undesirable to all groups as well as worksites that were viewed with mixed perceptions. Appended are the details of the first survey results, copies of the two survey forms, and a list of 12 references. (SI)
