ABSTRACT

Despite the acceptance of work ethic as an important individual difference, little research has examined the extent to which work ethic may reflect shared environmental or socio-economic factors. This research addresses this concern by examining the influence of geographic proximity on the work ethic experienced by 254 employees from Mexico, working in 11 different cities in the Northern, Central and Southern regions of the country. Using a sequence of complementary analyses to assess the main source of variance on seven dimensions of work ethic, our results indicate that work ethic is most appropriately considered at the individual level.

ABSTRACT

Este estudio analiza el impacto de la diversidad de valores entre los integrantes de los equipos sobre un conjunto de variables de proceso, así como sobre dos tareas con diferentesdemandas de interacción social. En particular, se analiza el efecto de la diversidad de valores sobre el conflicto en la tarea y en las relaciones, la cohesión y la autoeficacia grupal. Utilizando un simulador de trabajo en equipo y una muestra de 22 equipos de entre cinco y siete individuos,se comprobó que la diversidad en valores en un equipo, influye de forma directa sobre las variables de proceso y sobre la tarea que demanda baja interacción social, mientras que cuandola tarea requiere alta interacción social, la relación entre la diversidad de valores sobre el desempeño, se ve mediada por las variables de proceso. Se proponen algunas acciones quepermitirían poner en práctica los resultados de esta investigación en el contexto organizacional.


This study investigates the impact of value diversity among team members on team process and performance criteria on two tasks of differing social interaction demands. Specifically, thecriteria of interest included task conflict, relationship conflict, cohesion, and team efficacy and task performance on two tasks demanding different levels of social interaction. Utilizing a teamwork simulator and a sample comprised of 22 teams of five to seven individuals, it was demonstrated that value diversity directly impacts both task performance and process criteria on the task demanding low social interaction. Meanwhile, in the task requiring high social interaction, value diversity related to task performance via the mediating effects of team processes. Some specific actions are proposed in order to apply the results of this research in the daily context of organizations.
