In any kind of a organization or business unit in the world, it is very much needed to have a satisfied workforce in order to go for the expectations in an easy and smoother manner rather than having any complicated situations.
The Autonomous workgroup is a kind of a method using in globally to have set of people with positively influenced and satisfied to achieve the expectations and arrangement of work will be offered and designed also different because organizing work basically done in view of teams under this.
In the method of Autonomous workgroup, individual jobs should provide,
Variety.
A meaningful task.
An optimum work style.
Worker's control over work standards.
Feedback of results.
A perceived contribution to end product.
The concept of an Autonomous workgroup does not depend on any specific technology and can be applied in all work stations, so that the value of it automatically improves compared to other tools identified in a similar manner (Henderson, 2017).
As per Cordery et al. (1991), Autonomous work groups impact positively on members' attitudes.
In world-level business organizations, team development and team building is famous and very popular concepts that have definitely given some positive results as well. By the same level method of the autonomous workgroup also significant impact have shown in respect of organizational goals through the satisfied work force.
Kemp et al. (1983), have investigated into the method of the autonomous work group and searched for attitudinal and motivational effects of the same with compared to other places where did not practice the concept. further higher level of job satisfaction also identified on the organizations practicing the concept.
"Autonomous work groups are based on the permiss that an organization will operate most effectively, and most productively when there is a match of organizational and individual needs satisfaction"(Baines, 1993).
However, in respect of the organizational expectations Autonomous work group concept contributes a large scale value with a satisfied group of employees as well. There are number of examples in world wide on the subjected matter and current organization represent by myself also can be taken as an example of an organization practicing the concept in a certain extent and identified as an industry need to pay more attention to further development of the concept in respect of achieving more remarkable results.
Conclusion.
"Employees in Autonomous work groups reported more favorable work attitudes than those operate under traditional work structures" (Cordey et al., 1991).

This is a good practice since small teams put their effort in driving their goals aligning with organizational goals and try to improve the current level through effective decision making.
ReplyDeleteConcepts like Quality circles can be used to encourage teams to voluntarily attend for process improvements within the team.
It is a good thing to break the overall goal to small goals and multiple groups working towards one common goal

ReplyDeleteAutonomous workgroup helps to achieve organization's common goals. It is more effective since a small group members get together and drive to achieve a target. Collective decision making and better suggestions are some of the advantages of autonomous workgroups.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, autonomous work groups are very much needed by organizations today and they can increase the productivity of the service they provide. To put it another way, a team needs several people and they have different ideas. It creates diversity in the workforce of the group and allows them to look at different issues from different angles and make decisions. Eventually autonomous groups can expect effective action as well.
