Abstract

En nuestro país, desde la década de los 90, las empresas líderes del sector de la automoción comenzaron a modificar sus estructuras para hacerlas más competitivas. La introducción de tecnología permitió modificar el contenido de los puestos y trabajar en equipo. En este contexto, nuestro grupo de investigación inició hace diez años el estudio de las variables implicadas en la eficacia grupal siguiendo un modelo input-process-output. Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo: presentar algunos de los resultados obtenidos relacionados con las tareas y los procesos grupales y, avanzar en el estudio incorporando nuevos análisis desde una perspectiva transcultural. Concretamente se comparan los procesos y resultados grupales en dos filiales de una empresa multinacional ubicada en México y España. Desde una perspectiva aplicada se formulan algunas propuestas de intervención para mejorar la introducción de equipos de trabajo en este sector.
