The research presented here is a longitudinal field study that compares changes in perceptions of productivity and job satisfaction for participants and nonparticipants in a computer aided quality circles program in a multinational firm in Saudi Arabia.
Employee efficiency, productivity and absenteeism changes related to the implementation of the computer aided quality circles program were measured by collecting and analyzing actual organizational data. Data for each of the measures were collected for an 24-month period, ranging from 6-months before to l&months after adoption of the program.
