Abstract:The authors report the results of a longitudinal field study examining the impact of work teams on manufacturing performance. An electromechanical assembly plant was the authors' research site from April 1992 through December 1993; work teams were formed on its four production lines in August 1992. The results show that both quality and labor productivity improved over time after the formation of the teams. The authors offer qualitative insights into the functioning of these teams and their evolution over time, leading to workplace transformation.
