Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-managing work teams tend to increase productivity. This is because they have more autonomy, better communication, and collaboration. They are also motivated to work harder because they have more control over their work and the decisions that affect them. None of the other choices are true as self-managing teams do not increase per-unit cost, cycle time, or require greater task specialization. Additionally, self-managing teams can perform most workplace tasks, including hiring decisions in some cases.
