El autocontrol laboral en los híbridos toyotistas

Abstract

The labour self-control in the hybrid toyotist people. In the post-war, the transformation of the American Taylorism, to the cultural special features of the Japanese companies, gave rise to a different system known as Toyotism. This cultural borrowing that increased the America already transformed. The adaptation to the Japanese System to the North American labour culture has generated a Hybrid System that mixes in a changeable and varied way, some features of both productive cultures. Even though in both cases it is about the goods production addressed to compete within the market, its adaptation to the various local and cultural features has varied the productive efficacy of the system. This aspect wasn’t considered by Trist when he discovered that technology and social relations interacted in the productive system because his studies revolved around the European experience. To understand the toyotist control manner, we have to add the labour cultural, the third factor that is related to the previous two during the production. The economíaproductivity depends on the optimum meeting among technology, the social relations and culture, within a Social, Cultural and Technological System. This concept involves this other way of capital that is the symbolic representation that producers have of work, it is to say the worker mentality that relates them with production and works as a way of labour self-control.
