Abstract

This article reviews the literature on predictors of missionary success. Research articles are summarized in terms of their findings and critiques are offered. In general, promising work has been initiated on numerous conceptually sound topics. Unfortunately, research in the area of predicting missionary job success is relatively rare. The research that has been conducted has not been replicated and much of it is plagued with problems in methodology. Future directions for research from the literature are summarized and additional recommendations are offered.
