What works at work: overview and assessment / Casey Ichniowski [and others] -- Diffusion and performance of modular production in the U.S. apparel industry / John T. Dunlop and David Weil -- Modular production: improving performance in the apparel industry / Peter Berg [and others] -- The participatory bureaucracy: a structural explanation for the effects of group-based employee participation programs on productivity in the machined products sector / Maryellen R. Kelley -- Methodological issues in cross-sectional and panel estimates of the link between human resource strategies and firm performance / Mark A. Huselid and Brian E. Becker -- The adoption of high-involvement work practices / Frits K. Pil and John Paul MacDuffie -- The effects of total quality management on corporate performance: an empirical investigation / George S. Easton and Sherry L. Jarrell -- Implementing effective total quality management programs and financial performance: a synthesis of evidence from quality award winners / Kevin B. Hendricks and Vinod R. Singhal -- Public policy implications / David I. Levine.

Many managers are frustrated by a bewildering array of advice about what works in the workplace. This volume contributes to a growing consensus about effective workplace practices. The collection combines detailed studies of single industries (automobile assembly, apparel, and machine tools) with cross-industry studies of financial performance. Compared to most past investigations, the research here has better measures of both workplace practices and organizational performance. The contributors find that systems of innovative human resource management practices can have large effects on business performance. Success does not come from any single innovation, but from a coherent system encompassing pay, training, and employee involvement. Although a majority of contemporary US businesses now have adopted some innovative work practices, only a small percentage of businesses have adopted a coherent new system. A concluding chapter outlines barriers to diffusion and discusses public policies to remove barriers and enhance dissemination of effective management.
