It is equally important to determine which model of organizational effectiveness (e.g., goal model, internal process model) is most appropriate for evaluating the effectiveness of a specific organization. Constituencies—such as law enforcement employees, community groups, and correctional administrators—may have differing perspectives on what constitutes effectiveness in a specific criminal justice organization.
