Abstract

This study examined the relationship between integrated manufacturing, defined as the use of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT), just-in-time inventory control (JIT), and total quality management (TQ), and human resource management from a human capital perspective. Data from managers and nonmanagers showed several direct and interactive effects. AMT was positively related to selective staffing, comprehensive training, developmental appraisal, and externally equitable rewards for operations employees and to selective staffing for quality employees. TQ was positively related to these same human resource practices in qualify and was also related to the comprehensiveness of training for operations employees. JIT was negatively related to selective staffing in operations and to performance appraisal in quality and positively related to staffing in quality. The two- and three-way interactions had negative effects.
