TQM and labor-management cooperation - a noble experiment for the public sector 1996 p.1845-863 Recent initiatives by the Clinton Administration to promote labor-management cooperation and to reinvent government suggest reconsidering the efficacy of total quality management (TQM) and labor-management cooperation initiatives in the public sector. Key elements of both initiatives, for example, process improvement/innovation, focus on the customer, and employee empowerment, are inherent parts of the National Performance Review (NPR) and, as such, are critical to the achievement of NPR outcomes. Achieving these outcomes involves the simultaneous transformation of agencies and unions. This is no small task. The challenges and risks involved in such a large-scale transformation are identified, as well as the factors that make the public sector an appropriate (and safe) place for the American labor movement to experiment with new ways to manage relationships. - Reproduced Management - United States Total quality management - United States Total quality management International Journal of Public Administration 32050 32050 32050 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 19, Issue no: 10 AR32236 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
