In this theoretical-empirical study, we analyse work methodologies of Spanish Religious Orders, and their relationship with productivity, efficacy and efficiency.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In the literature review we have compiled all the applicable theories. Amongst them, Management by Values stands out and has served as the framework for the hypotheses. To test the latter, we have obtained data from face-to-face surveys, obtaining 112 valid answers. Ordinary Least Squares and Logit Model have been proposed.
A greater compromise of the individual with the organization generated greater values of productivity, and its higher value in the case of the female Orders when compared to the male Orders.
The conclusions presented here only refer to the data of religious organizations of Málaga (Spain) that have been analysed. Future research should consider the changes brought about by the possible merger of the different Orders and the analysis of the social work of the Church through its non-profit organizations (Cáritas or Manos Unidas).
This study can be translatable to profit-seeking organizations. If work methodology and coordinating tasks are appropriate for religious organizations, then they should also be beneficial for-profit companies.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Management by Values occupies an essential place in the direction and coordination of daily tasks and the life of religious communities. Their levels of productivity, efficacy and efficiency are a result of the strong link that joins the members to the aim of the organization.
在这项理论实证研究中，我们分析了西班牙宗教团体的工作方法，以及它们与生产率、效力和效率的关系。
设计/方法/途径：在文献综述中，我们汇编了所有适用的理论。其中，价值观管理脱颖而出，并作为假设的框架。为了检验这些假设，我们通过面对面调查获得了数据，共得到112份有效答案。我们采用了普通最小二乘法和逻辑模型。
个人对组织的更大投入产生了更高的生产率价值，并且与男性团体相比，女性团体在这方面的价值更高。
这里呈现的结论仅基于对西班牙马拉加宗教组织已分析的数据。未来的研究应考虑不同团体可能合并带来的变化，以及通过教会的非营利组织（慈善机构或携手合作组织）对教会社会工作进行分析。
这项研究可应用于营利性组织。如果工作方法和协调任务对宗教组织适用，那么它们也应对营利性公司有益。
原创性/价值：价值观管理在宗教团体日常任务的指导和协调以及生活中占据重要地位。它们的生产率、效力和效率水平是成员与组织目标紧密相连的结果。
