Performance indicator activity system of religious organizations

Abstract

In contemporary Ukrainian society, religious organizations play a pivotal role in expressing religious activity, functioning within the framework of the modern economic paradigm and actively participating in civic processes and financial-economic activities. The conditions of martial law and global challenges facing Ukraine have led to a shift in priorities for religious organizations, particularly in strengthening charitable and volunteer initiatives to aid the Armed Forces of Ukraine, refugees, and the underprivileged.
Given the challenging financial situation in the country and the decrease in potential donors, religious organizations have taken responsibility for effective resource management and the efficient engagement of volunteers in charitable projects. In such circumstances, project management becomes crucial, requiring a distinctive managerial approach and effective decision-making.
This article explores the utilization of performance indicators as an essential element of effective management and strategic development for religious organizations. The authors demonstrate that tracking and analyzing performance indicators enable religious organizations to efficiently achieve their missions and goals, making them accountable, transparent, and successful. The discussed theme allows organizations to clearly measure progress in attaining their objectives, evaluate the results and impact of their programs and projects. This approach not only aids in making informed decisions but also enhances the effectiveness of religious organizations in fulfilling their significant societal functions: spiritual, charitable, humanitarian, and educational.
