The selection process used by an organisation employing the autonomous work group (AWG) structure is reported. What makes this company′s approach worthy of consideration is the fact that they now have more than 14 years of successful experience using the team concept. Plant personnel and training specialists have identified a group of salient characteristics which, in their experience, have played a major role in facilitating high performance and contributing to the compatibility of the individual within the team structure.
