Resumen

El creciente uso de los equipos de trabajo como unidades de operación básica en las organizaciones ha generado una gran cantidad de literatura centrada en el estudio del pequeño grupo y los grupos, en general. No obstante, aunque en la actualidad la investigación centrada en los equipos de trabajo recobra un interés renovado, sus orígenes se remontan a los años 30 coincidiendo con los modelos socio-técnicos. Aun así, su uso no se puede considerar lineal, aunque sin duda los expertos en grupos coinciden en señalar: (1) 1980, como el momento más álgido en lo que al interés por los equipos de trabajo se refiere, y (2) un continuo y vertiginoso ascenso en la actualidad (Bell y Kozlowski, 2010). Esta popularidad magnificada en las últimas décadas, puede deberse a que los equipos son capaces de marcar la diferencia entre una u otra organización, de manera que, a menudo son el medio que permite a las organizaciones adoptar una ventaja flexible y competitiva, así como la oportunidad de satisfacer simultáneamente la satisfacción de los trabajadores y la productividad de la organización (Guzzo y Salas, 1995; Lawler, 1992), imprescindible para su supervivencia, especialmente en estos tiempos de crisis económica. El objetivo del presente trabajo, es realizar una breve revisión de los principales modelos de efectividad grupal y sugerir nuevas directrices de investigación.
