Abstract

The study aims to investigate the impact of different leadership styles on the Lean Six Sigma practices of manufacturing and service industries in India. In this study, the relationships between different leadership styles and Lean Six Sigma practices were determined by using Welch’s test and regression analysis. Welch’s test proved that there is a significant difference between the manufacturing and service sectors in the case of the instrumental and supportive leadership styles, but no significant difference in the participative leadership style while practising Lean Six Sigma. The results of Welch’s test show ed that the service sectors were more interested in Lean Six Sigma-based practices. The results also revealed that the relationships between the participative, supportive, and instrumental leadership styles and Lean Six Sigma practices were highly significant for both the manufacturing and the service sectors in India. This finding offers a managerial perspective that these three types of leadership styles could potentially ensure the eventual improvement of Lean Six Sigma practices.

领导风格及其对印度工业精益六西格玛实践的影响

本研究旨在调查不同领导风格对印度制造业和服务业精益六西格玛实践的影响。在本研究中，采用韦尔奇检验和回归分析来确定不同领导风格与精益六西格玛实践之间的关系。韦尔奇检验证明，在实施精益六西格玛的情况下，制造业和服务业在工具性和支持性领导风格的情况下存在显著差异，而在参与性领导风格的情况下没有显著差异。韦尔奇的测试结果显示，服务行业对基于精益六西格玛的实践更感兴趣。研究结果还显示，参与式、支持性和工具性领导风格与精益六西格玛实践之间的关系对印度的制造业和服务业都非常重要。这一发现提供了一个管理的角度来看，这三种类型的领导风格可以潜在地确保精益六西格玛实践的最终改进。
