Organizational Culture and Quality Practices in Six Sigma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using data collected from a sample of 226 manufacturing plants, we examine how organizational culture is related to quality practices associated with Six Sigma implementation. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze the relationships between four cultural orientations as defined by the competing values framework and ten quality practices in Six Sigma. The results suggested that three cultural orientations – group culture, developmental culture, and rational culture – are important for implementing the quality practices, and hierarchical culture is not related to any quality practices studied here. Implications of this research are discussed.
