Abstract: Many companies are considering using self-managed teams to move from a traditional management structure to a system that gives employees much greater responsibility and involvement.

“…Moreover, new product teams often have unstable composition (Akgün and Lynn, 2002), thereby making it even more challenging to track individual inputs. Most researchers concur that the allocation of rewards based solely on individual performance is at odds with the team spirit and should be avoided (Carr, 1992; Cox and Tippett, 2003; Henke, Krachenberg, and Lyons, 1993). However, authors also recommend avoiding rewards that are based solely on team performance because of potential negative motivational effects (Cox and Tippett, 2003; DeMatteo and Eby, 1997; O'Connor, 1994).…”

“…La première difficulté consiste à trancher entre récompenses individuelles ou de groupe. Les récompenses individuelles typiques d'une organisation fonctionnelle semblent contraires à l'esprit d'équipe voire particulièrement négatives (Carr, 1992). Cependant, récompenser chaque membre de l'équipe de manière égale entraîne des injustices, en raison du degré d'implication et de responsabilité différent de chacun des intervenants dans les progrès réalisés par l'équipe.…”

“…Confrontée à ce type d'objectifs vagues, l'équipe perd en général beaucoup de temps et d'énergie à décider comment répartir son temps et ses ressources (Mabert, Muth et Schmenner, 1992). De fait, la plupart des auteurs s'accordent pour recommander la définition d'objectifs clairs et définis dans le temps, et pour lesquels l'équipe sera tenue responsable (Carr, 1992). L'adoption de méthodes très structurées répond à cet objectif en fixant pour chaque étape du processus des sous-objectifs plus précis et plus faciles à atteindre.…”
