Abstract
Two spin-dependent structure functions $\hat g_1$ and $\hat g_2$ for the inclusive spin-half baryon production in electron-positron annihilation are studied in the context of QCD factorization as well as in the naive quark parton model. As a result, it is found that the sum of $\hat g_1$ and $\hat g_2$ is related to $\hat h_1$ and $\hat g_T$, two quark fragmentation functions defined by Jaffe and Ji. In connection with the measurement of quark fragmentation functions, the possible phenomenological consequences are discussed.
