Measuring the effects of administrative intervention. A technique.
The present study constituted a field test of a technique designed to measure the effects of administrative interventions. An organizational blockage instrument was administered prior to and following the institution of certain organizational changes by a new nursing dean. An analysis of the results indicated (1) a significant reduction in perceived blockages and (2) that the magnitude of specific changes could be moderately predicted (r = .76) prior to the second data gathering. The authors concluded that these results augured well for the tested methodology as an administrative evaluation tool.
