Abstract
This research examined the effect of an Inner Quality Management (IQM) training program on 54 employees in the Information
Technology Services Division of a state agency which was experiencing change-related turmoil. Measures of personal
and organizational quality in the trained employees were compared to those of a 64-member comparison group that had not
received the training. After the completion of the training, seven weeks from the initial assessment, the study group reported
significant decreases in dimensions of negative affect and stress and significant increases in dimensions of positive affect in
relation to the comparison group. Also, perceptions of goal clarity and productivity increased significantly. Implications for
individual and organizational wellness are discussed.
