Abstract

For the most part, the management world has utilized the principles of behavioral psychology in its work. This paper questions the philosophical assumptions of behavioral psychology as they apply to quality and outlines an alternative based on building and sustaining personal and corporate relationships. Philosophical and scientific evidence is presented which argues that the psychology of quality needs to focus on relationships rather than controlled outcomes.
