The Potential for "Groupthink" in Autonomous Work Groups
探讨自主工作团队中可能出现的“群体思维”现象,描述其作为观察行为分类系统的价值,并通过实际案例说明该框架的相关性和实用性。
As a result of current problems facing modern organizations a number of strategies have been implemented. The introduction of a work system based on autonomous work groups is one such strategy. A danger to the effectiveness of autonomous work groups is the potential for "groupthink." "Groupthink" is described and suggested to provide a useful observational behavioral category system for studying autonomous work group decision processes. Actual autonomous work group cases are presented to illustrate the relevance and the usefulness of the groupthink framework.
