Resumen

Este trabajo de revisión tiene dos objetivos. En primer lugar, se analizan las potencialidades de las organizaciones-basadas-enequipos y de sus ventajas para el afrontamiento y la adaptación a entornos flexibles e inciertos. Y en segundo lugar, se examinan los efectos que estas condiciones y dinámicas organizacionales pueden ejercer sobre los procesos y los resultados grupales, dedicando especial atención a fenómenos como la reducción del tamaño del equipo, los cambios en la composición, los procesos de aprendizaje de equipo y otras disposiciones derivadas de los requerimientos de flexibilidad; asimismo, se analizan sus posibles consecuencias en relación con el rendimiento y la eficacia de los equipos. Finalmente, se resumen las principales implicaciones prácticas para el diseño de las organizaciones y la gestión de equipos de trabajo en contextos dinámicos y complejos caracterizados por altos niveles de incertidumbre y flexibilidad.
