Discussion Post: Research Methods for Christian Leadership

Overview

This reading introduced students to the importance of a literature review for a dissertation and the elements that make this section a sound document with integrity and purpose. Authors Machi & McEvoy (2021) explain that conducting a literature review would "demand a commitment of focused time and effort, which will probably require a fundamental reorganization of daily life". With this level of commitment in mind, students naturally would be asked to share their current research topic this week, Week 1, in order to strategize how to complete this next, new chapter. As a result, below is this researcher's topic, research purpose statement, research questions, vision for the literature review and lastly, five good sources I have found so far.

Purpose Statement

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study will be to explore the use of time management within the scope of church leadership and administration as perceived through the lens of male Pastors, who are either the senior or sole pastor or minister, ages 35 to 65, at small churches in the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware. At this stage in the research, time management will be generally defined as the process of organizing and planning how to divide time between different activities and functions. This study will determine which time management theories, if any, are used by pastors to identify gaps within their scope of responsibility of leadership and administration that will allow for more skill development. By this research, prioritized responsibilities are captured by the small church pastor, which can lead to further development and discovery to aid in the productivity and vitality of the small church and its pastor.

Research Questions

These research questions will introduce the context in which pastors of small churches operate and how their environments influence the prioritization of their time.

Question I. What do pastors believe is the most important use of time management?

Question II. How do pastors describe their most recent experiences employing the use of time management within their church organizational structures?

Question III. What relationship exists, if any, between church administration, leadership, and time management?
