In an attempt to understand the role that program evaluation plays in a community mental health center (CMHC), a conceptual framework of the organizational context in which CMHC self-evaluation efforts occur is presented. The conceptual framework consists of three major propositions. (1) Five dimensions of a CMHC are proposed to have significant effects on the center's evaluation process: research capability, administrative support for evaluation, organizational structure, readiness for innovation, and the environmental context of the center. (2) The evaluation process is perceived to consist of three types of evaluation activities corresponding to the input, process, and output elements of the center. (3) The five organizational parameters are proposed to differentially affect the individual components of the evaluation process. Stemming from the proposed conceptual framework, a theoretical model of the effects of organizational parameters on the evaluation process was tested on a purposive sample of CMHCs. The results were generally supportive of the model, indicating that the role of evaluation in CMHCs is not a simple or singular phenomenon.
为了理解项目评估在社区心理健康中心（CMHC）中所起的作用，本文提出了一个CMHC进行自我评估时所处组织环境的概念框架。该概念框架由三个主要命题组成。（1）提出CMHC的五个维度对中心的评估过程有显著影响：研究能力、对评估的行政支持、组织结构、创新准备情况以及中心的环境背景。（2）评估过程被认为由与中心的输入、过程和输出要素相对应的三种评估活动组成。（3）提出这五个组织参数对评估过程的各个组成部分有不同的影响。基于所提出的概念框架，在一个有目的选取的CMHC样本上测试了组织参数对评估过程影响的理论模型。结果总体上支持该模型，表明评估在CMHC中的作用不是一个简单或单一的现象。
