Megachurches and Economic Development: Pastoral Interpretations of Internal and External Expectations on Church Behavior
The Journal of Faith, Education and Community2019 What sorts of economic development activities do megachurches engage in, and what rationale do leaders give for this behavior? This study provides theoretical guidance for answering this research question through an investigation of megachurches’ extra-role behaviors (ERB) in economic development activities. ERB is a “behavior that attempts to benefit the organization and that goes beyond existing role expectations.”
