In order to make proper decisions, the management staff must fully understand recommendations and indications resulting from the evaluation.

The text simplicity was measured with the use of the Gunning Fog Index. The results of the analyses show that the language of evaluation reports could be comprehensible mainly for people with at least higher education certificates, which means that in many organisations the evaluation recommendations are not taken into consideration, as they are simply not understood by the management staff, whose professional skills do not necessarily go with high level of formal education.
