Quality Circles: How Effective Are They in Improving Employee Performance and Attitudes?
Buch, Kimberly; Raban, Amiram
Psychology: A Journal of Human Behavior, v27 n1 p11-17 1990
Used a quasi-experimental design to assess the effect of a quality circle intervention on behavior and attitudes of 88 employees at a large Midwestern organization. Results provide mixed support for the purported ability of circles to improve work behavior with no change for absenteeism and productivity but positive change for quality of work. (Author/TE)
