| Summary: | The hypothesis tested in the research reported here is that change or lack of change in religious congregations is related to the basic motivation of its members toward the organization. Those who perceive the organization as instrumental to individual self-fulfillment are seen to be more likely to initiate and ratify change than those who are motivated primarily by the perception of themselves as instrumental to the collectivity. The results of a small pilot study reveal differences between the two groups in regard to attitudes toward change and perception of the need for it. |
