Powell, Brett A.; Gilleland, Diane Suitt; Pearson, L. Carolyn
Journal of Higher Education, v83 n1 p102-127 Jan-Feb 2012
Institutions of higher education are under pressure to be accountable for their expenditures while demonstrating their effectiveness. Through structural equation modeling, a relationship was found between expenditures and the efficiency and effectiveness of an institution, and an optimal expenditure level was found that maximized an institution's effectiveness without overspending. (Contains 4 tables and 6 figures.)
