Abstract:
|
We investigate the determinants of teamwork and workers cooperation within the firm.
Up to now the literature has almost exclusively focused on workers incentives as the main
determinants for workers cooperation. We take a broader look at the firm's organizational
design and analyze the impact that different aspects of it might have on cooperation. In
particular, we consider the way in which the degree of decentralization of decisions and
the use of complementary HRM practices (what we call the .rm.s vertical organizational
design) can affect workers'collaboration with each other. We test the model's predictions
on a unique dataset on Spanish small and medium size firms containing a rich set of
variables that allows us to use sensible proxies for workers cooperation. We find that
the decentralization of labor decisions (and to a less extent that of task planning) has a
positive impact on workers cooperation. Likewise, cooperation is positively correlated to
many of the HRM practices that seem to favor workers'interaction the most. We also
confirm the previous finding that collaborative efforts respond positively to pay incentives,
and particularly, to group or company incentives. |
