The lack of success in nonprofit organizations often is due to challenges in management (Drucker, 2008). Faith-based organizations are not immune to these problems. The church struggles to live out its mission, often due to ineffective practices (Barna & Jackson, 2004).

Partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) provides researchers with a predictive tool for theory building. In an attempt to understand deviant behaviour which can potentially become a criminal offence, PLS-SEM opens up a valuable mean to analyse latent constructs are designed from a composite of indicators. At its basic, this is called a first-order variable. Using the first-order variable in a basic predictor-criterion research model illuminates in-depth structure on how each component of these variables affects each other. However, as an analysis moves to a more complex level, the first-order variable poses a great challenge to the researchers. This …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between providers' attitudes toward the adoption of EBPs and organizational culture. The theoretical framework for this study was organizational culture theory and the Denison organizational culture model. This correlational and predictive study examined …
