Question

You are a member of a team of eight individuals from the same department who meet for a few hours each week to discuss ways of improving quality, efficiency, and the work environment. You are most likely a member of a self-managed work team. A. True B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A team of eight individuals from the same department who meet for a few hours each week to discuss ways of improving quality, efficiency, and the work environment are most likely a self-managed work team.

A self-managed work team is a self-organized, semi-autonomous small group of employees whose members determine, plan, and manage their day-to-day activities and duties under reduced or no supervision.

A self-managed work team can also be referred to as a self directed team or self-managed natural work team.

Answer 2

Answer:

B) false

Explanation:

A self managed team is a self-organized and semi-autonomous group whose team members perform highly interdependent jobs and manage their day to day activities. They usually operate with little or no supervision, and share a common objective.

In this case, all the information that we are given about this team is that they work together and meet a few hours a week to discuss certain topics. That is not enough to determine if this team works on the same project or if they are loosely supervised or not.
