Sustaining self‐managed teams: a process approach to team wellness
Abstract
The concept of self‐managed work teams is identified as a historically grounded story of success originating in perspectives on Socio‐Technical systems and the Quality of Work Life. Expansion based on early success has focused on structural problems associated with the establishment of teams and on solving acute problems that may arise. This paper suggests that future success and research on teams must confront an increasingly complicated set of team applications and needs to shift to a process orientation. The process issues related to long term team operation are more appropriate to a chronic problem/wellness model that is proposed by the authors.
