Abstract

La utilización por parte de las empresas de tecnologías de producción de base microelectrónica obliga a las organizaciones a la realización de actividades encaminadas a la adecuación de los recursos humanos a los cambios experimentados en los puestos de trabajo tras la inversión en los nuevos equipos. Si bien este tema ha sido abordado desde la perspectiva de la dirección de operaciones, son escasos los estudios realizados al respecto desde la gestión de los recursos humanos. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer cuales son los elementos condicionantes de la política de formación en empresas que adoptan tecnologías de fabricación avanzada. Este trabajo proporciona evidencia empírica de lo sucedido en un sector caracterizado por presentar elevadas tasas de modernización tecnológica, como es el sector metalmecánico gallego. / The use on the part of the companies of technologies of production of base microelectrónic forces to the organizations to the realization of activities guided to the adaptation from the human resources to the changes experienced in the workplaces after the investment in the new equipment. This subject has been studied from operations management, but there are only a few studies in this respect from human resources management. The objective of this paper is to know which are the training politics's conditioning elements in companies that adopt advanced manufacturing technologies. This work provides empiric evidence ofthat happened in a sector characterized to present high rates oftechnological modernization, like it is the metalmechanic Galician sector.
