Quality circle programmes: Volunteering for participation
使用判别分析法，从人口统计、态度和行为特征中识别出质量圈计划参与者的典型特征，包括教育水平、任期、工作满意度、关怀、绩效和缺勤率。
Abstract Discriminant analysis was used to develop a profile of a typical Quality Circle Programme participant. Selected demographic, attitudinal, and behavioural characteristics were evaluated. Six characteristics significantly differentiated quality circle members from non‐members, including educational level, tenure, job satisfaction, consideration, performance, and absenteeism. A profile of the typical circle member is described, and interpretations of the discriminant analysis are discussed.
