The Enigma of Organizational Effectiveness.

Cameron, Kim

New Directions for Program Evaluation, n11 p1-13 Sep 1981

Organizational effectiveness is not a clearly defined concept. The author illustrates how the four most widely used models are not uniformly applicable. He states the evaluator must make explicit certain critical choices when measuring effectiveness. These criteria reveal the definition of effectiveness and what is being measured. (DWH)
