Book excerpt: This study targeted pastoral burnout symptomology and its relationship to self-perceived leadership attributes. Pastors experience a professional environment that call for ministering to their congregation's spiritual needs; however, additional social and business responsibilities often exist for which the pastor is poorly trained or improperly supported. These situations may cause high levels of stress and anxiety, challenging a pastor's self-perception of their leadership attributes. Eventually, this condition could promote the onset of burnout, which might compel the pastor to leave the ministry. As such, this research sought to establish whether a relationship exists between self-perceived leadership attributes and ministerial burnout for licensed, ordained, or lay clergy (n = 100) serving a congregation of 250 or fewer individuals in the Florida, North Georgia, South Georgia, and Alabama - West Florida Conferences of the United or Global Methodist Church. The design used in this study was a quantitative correlational approach, which determined the degree of relationship between self-perceived leadership attributes and burnout symptomology. The independent variable was self-perceived leadership attributes, measured across five clusters (Drive, Organization, Trust, Interpersonal, and Tolerance) utilizing the Leader Attributes Inventory. The dependent variable was burnout symptomology, measured across three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and satisfaction in ministry) employing the Francis Burnout Inventory. The Spearman Rho Correlation Coefficient and Ordinal Regression comprised the IBM-SPSS data analysis. The results indicate a weak, yet statistically significant relationship exists between self-perceived leadership attributes and reported levels of burnout.

Download or read book Lived Experiences of Assemblies of God Pastors with Regards to Leadership Style Demands Stressors and Ministry Burnout written by Barbara Christina Chavez and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to discover the perception of 15 small church Assemblies of God pastors in San Antonio with regards to leadership style, leadership demands, leadership stressors, and ministry burnout. The researcher used the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach due to the openness of collecting the data through semi-structured interviews that allowed participants to respond to open-ended questions. The additional interview instrument was the WLAB scale and the burnout inventory instrument from Iverson, Olekalns, and Erwin (1998). The researcher coded and evaluated data using NVIVO12 software. Through the association of common themes, the researcher unearthed responses to the vast challenges for clergymen in ministry and retention. Participants established that their lack of training led to unnecessary stress. Nevertheless, the pastors' primary source of stress, was dealing with people in their congregation. Intrapersonal conflict becomes just another stress attribute to the already long list of congregational demands a small church pastor is responsible for. In addition, over half of the pastors interviewed could not define their job description. The common sentiment was that their job description consisted of all that the ministry required, from building to congregational needs. There is limited time available for spiritual and self-care. Further stating that the ministering and caring of others takes a toll emotionally and physically. Not allowing for the proper care of mind, body, and spirit could lead to ministry burnout.

Download or read book Reading Ray S Anderson written by Christian D. Kettler and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is theology often divorced from ministry? Why is ministry left bereft of a robust theology? Ray S. Anderson, a professor of Fuller Theological Seminary for over thirty years, has left a legacy of provocative reflections on these questions. In this book, Kettler provides a sure guide to major themes in the work of one of the most creative theological minds to have sought to integrate theology and ministry. Ray Anderson's radical incarnational theology of the "kenotic community" provides a new basis for a broader, risk-taking ecclesiology. He also brings theological anthropology to the front of the agenda, and therefore into ministry to actual hurting human persons. Each chapter ends with a case study from an actual life situation, to "test out" and work through the implications of Anderson's theology.
