Book excerpt: Quality circles are a form of participative decision making in which a group of employees identifies and provides solutions to problems in the organization. Imported from Japan in the early 1970s, quality circles are being used in increasing numbers. The Department of Defense has also used quality circles in some of its organizations. Previous studies on quality circles have found that participation in the circles has a positive effect on employee attitudes. This study examined the effects of participation in quality circles on job satisfaction, retention, participation in decision making, and job feedback. The data for this study were derived from two administrations of a quality of work life survey to a Department of Defense organization. The surveys were administered 18 months apart. A sample was derived that consisted of those respondents who had participated in both administrations of the surveys. This sample was then divided into two criterion groups, a comparison group and a QC group. Theses. (MJM).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality Circles programs are currently receiving a great deal of managerial attention both within civilian institutions and the DOD despite the virtual absence of empirical studies concerning the effects of this organizational intervention. This thesis assessed the impact of participation in a QC program at two military facilities with regard to five work-related attitudes; decision-making effectiveness, participative decision making, communication climate, job satisfaction and job involvement; and found that such participation resulted in no significant attitude change. One implication of these findings is that the glowing success stories provided by QC consultants must be considered with caution and that the widespread initiation of QCs, particularly within the DOD where organizations are characterized by high rates of personnel turnover, should be tempered with restraint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Methods which may be used to motivate people (workers and managers) to produce and achieve higher levels of excellence and obtain job satisfaction through participation in quality circles are presented. Assessment of organization's readiness for a quality circle program, identification of objectives, techniques for problem solving, and ways to maintain momentum in quality circle building are explained in detail. Quality circles are not the total answer to an organizations problems, but they may represent a viable alternative for managing and working together to create a more effective and efficient system. The book documents the evolution of the quality circle methodology and philosophy and may be used as a handbook for people and organizations interested in quality circles. (kbc).
Book Synopsis An Examination of the Effects of a Quality Circles Program on Attitudinal Variables in Two DoD Installations by : Martha P. Ham

This book was released on 1983 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most popular organizational development techniques today is Quality Circles (QC). A quality circle is a small group of volunteers with special training who meet regularly to identify, analyze, and solve problems, and implement solutions. QCs were developed in Japan in the 1960's and were imported to the U.S. in the 1970's. QCs require structure and training in problem-solving techniques. Studies have been conducted to evaluate QC effects on productivity and attitudes. Since QC involvement is believed to affect attitudes, the casual relationships between QCs and the following factors are examined: cohesiveness, task characteristics, satisfaction, commitment, participation, and perceptions of work group and supervisor performance. Research data were collected at two DOD installations, verified for reliability, tested for correlation via the Pearson correlation and multiple regression statistical techniques. Group means were compared for QC and control group posttests and QC pretest and posttest. Results revealed no significant attitudinal differences between the groups. Specific recommendations for the successful implementation of a QC program include assessing the organizational climate for readiness, management support and commitment, slow change and stable leadership, and adherence to QC principles. Finally, managers should have realistic expectations and allow QCs time to work.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study investigates the impact of quality circles on job performance, which include job satisfaction and work performance variables, and also researches where quality circles would optimally apply in a military medical center. The study compiled raw data from an implemented quality circle program and in cooperation with the Air Force Institute of Technology, presented preliminary information for a wider-ranging Department of Defense study. In conjunction with the group testing, direct observation and questioning determined what organizational benefits were derived from quality circle groups. The study concluded that quality circles appeared to enhance the effectiveness of the work group. The group pulled together to provide solutions to management problems. It increased the individual's pride and developed a positive working environment. Though only preliminary findings, the writer feels that the evolution of quality circles would benefit and improve the quality of health care being delivered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality Circles management has been greeted with tremendous enthusiasm by American managers attempting to emulate the recent economic success of the Japanese industrial complex. The Department of Defense is becoming actively involved in Quality Circles. Scant rigorous research exists on the effectiveness of Quality Circles as a management tool. A nonequivalent control group design compared 14 Quality Circles groups to 37 untrained work groups on a number of attitudinal measures. No consistent differences between groups were detected. Design flaws limiting the validity of the findings included sample-size problems, experimental mortality, weak treatment effects, and poor experimental control. The study's results should be treated as highly tentative and further research should attempt to overcome these design limitations. (Author).
