Abstract

This research analyses human resource development (HRD) by a group activity in a business organisation. Among many types of group activities, the study focuses on a quality control circle (QCC) activity. As an analysis perspective, relation between management styles and capability development is tested. According to differences on group members' composition or differences in a scope of group activity, effectiveness of capability development are analysed. In addition, activities facing with difficulties are focused and common features of these activities are clarified. Based on a result of quantitative and qualitative analysis, implications and guidelines for management of group activities are suggested.
