When it comes to measuring the kindness of an action, do you think intention or outcome is a more important factor?

I feel that a good outcome (regardless of intent or effort) is generally better regarded, as it's made a direct impact on a situation. However I feel that from a broader systemic level, intent needs to be more rewarded, as that way you encourage a society of kind people acting with sincere intent, and will grow a kinder society in the long term.
