Abstract

Teamwork has become widely embraced in recent decades; however, its adoption carries significant implications that require thorough understanding. In this article, we study the relationship between teamwork and a number of selection procedures. The use of teams may increase the value of investing in comprehensive selection, as it facilitates the identification of workers with complementary skills. However, teamwork may also substitute intensive selection if team members engage in mutual monitoring. Using data from a representative sample of Spanish manufacturing plants, we find a significant negative association between the number of selection procedures and teamwork that is aligned with the mutual monitoring hypothesis.
