Abstract: | In this research, the authors address the question: Why do many total quality management implementations fail? The authors develop a theoretical model in which the total quality management role for line employees results in a dual work design that requires both standardized production and continuous work while on the job in response to situational cues. Alternatively, workers can respond to the challenges of a job involving both types of work by avoiding the continuous improvement work. |
