چکیده:
Today's organizations face intense competition in a constantly changing global market. Many organizations have shifted their organizational structure from vertical or hierarchical to horizontal or process-oriented since the early 1990s. In a process structure, teamwork and human resource participation are considered key or essential activities. Team-based organizations are able to use human resources optimally and provide a suitable platform for market competition. The adoption of self-managed team designs by leading organizations signals a peak in the enhancement of productivity and human resource quality. In other words, by implementing self-managed work teams as a type of strategy, these organizations have been able to achieve motivation, quality, productivity, customer satisfaction, and performance excellence.

In general, although Iran Khodro company is still far from the full implementation of the self-managed work teams project, this movement can be considered one of the transformative management approaches of the company to create a suitable working environment for increasing motivation, developing human resources, and encouraging them to participate more in performance improvement.
