Abstract: [This abstract is based on the authors' abstract.]
Human resource management (HRM) is recognized as a critical factor in the success of Six Sigma implementation in an organization. Data collected from 95 manufacturing sites that implemented Six Sigma show that three quality-related HRM practices – employee involvement, employee training, and employee performance and recognition - affect the success of the Six Sigma effort. Additionally, it is shown that the human infrastructure of the Six Sigma Green and Black Belt system integrates with traditional quality-oriented HRM practices in supporting the use of Six Sigma methodology.
