| Abstract | Summary form only given. An analysis of the seminal work of four quality leaders (Crosby, 1984; Deming, 1982; Ishikawa, 1988; and Juran, 1988, 1989) produced three distinct constructs of quality achieving manager: promoting customer-focused quality, facilitating team-based improvement, encouraging systems thinking. If quality leaders are correct in their assumptions then these behaviors should be correlated with the quality level of goods and services produced by the work group. This research examines the relationship of employee perceptions of managerial behavior and work group results, accounting for the employee's perceptions of the organizational context. The results suggest that real differences in the quality achievement of different work groups in this environment is less likely a function of differences in manager behavior than in other factors (e.g., employee performance). Or, that the manager behavior does make a difference, but not on the dimensions suggested by the quality literature. Producing high-quality goods and services is a complex phenomenon and that a work group manager's behavior may or may not be sufficient for impacting work group results. Quality professionals advocate certain management practices as leading to higher levels of quality. While the results of this study do not prove that these practices are not universally applicable, it does indicate that they may not be as universally effective as the quality literature portrays. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
