Does Team Production Rely on More or Fewer Employee Selection Procedures?
研究团队工作与选拔程序数量的关系,发现西班牙制造企业中团队工作与选拔程序数量显著负相关,支持相互监督假说。
ABSTRACT Teamwork has become widely embraced in recent decades; however, its adoption carries significant implications that require thorough understanding. In this article, we study the relationship between teamwork and a number of selection procedures. The use of teams may increase the value of investing in comprehensive selection, as it facilitates the identification of workers with complementary skills. However, teamwork may also substitute intensive selection if team members engage in mutual monitoring. Using data from a representative sample of Spanish manufacturing plants, we find a significant negative association between the number of selection procedures and teamwork that is aligned with the mutual monitoring hypothesis.
