The study found that pastors who agreed they were trained to manage a church ranked high in ministry satisfaction and low in emotional exhaustion compared to those who disagreed to receiving such training. This work has implications for seminaries, congregations, denominational leaders and clergy themselves to ensure clergy are properly prepared and continue their career journey. This study could be used to modify curricula at seminaries and produce post seminary training and educational information.
研究发现，相较于不同意接受此类培训的牧师，那些认同自己接受过管理教堂培训的牧师在牧会满意度方面的评分较高，而在情绪疲惫感方面的评分较低。这项工作对神学院、教会、教派领袖和神职人员本身都具有启示意义，以确保神职人员得到适当的准备并继续他们的职业旅程。本研究可以用于修改神学院的课程，并提供毕业后的培训和教育信息。
