MANAGERIAL DECEPTION IN QUALITY CIRCLE IMPLEMENTATION: A PERSONAL VIEW.
In order to implement and maintain quality circle programs as vehicles for achieving increased worker productivity, corporate leaderships may resort to unethical managerial tactics. A critical analysis, drawing upon and interweaving the data garnered from both the Florida Power & Light Quality Improvement Program and various managerial texts, reveals the existence of deceptive and coercive practices by some corporate managers in their attempts to forcibly impose quality circle programs under the guise of managerial/worker power sharing. Managerial deception in quality circle perpetuation seeks to construct an intra-corporate reality which co-opts workers into supporting a self-repressive organizational hegemony.
