We analyze the single transverse-spin asymmetry (SSAs) for inclusive hadron production in the pp collision at RHIC based on the twist-3 mechanism in QCD. As an origin of SSAs, we take into account of all kinds of pole contributions associated with the twist-3 quark-gluon correlation functions in the polarized proton. By the inclusion of the soft-fermion-pole contribution in addition to the soft-gluon-pole contribution, we find SSAs observed at RHIC are better described for all kinds of mesons. P{sub T} dependence of the asymmetry and the comparison with the FNAL data are also presented.
