Autonomous Workgroups: An Evaluation at an Industrial Site

Abstract

This paper describes an exploratory longitudinal study with semi-autonomous work groups in a large, unionized heavy engineering workshop. The results show that groups which adopted the new set of work arrangements reported substantially different perceptual, behavioral, and affective responses to those groups which continued to employ more traditional work practices. These findings and their implications for similar work sites are discussed.
