Resumen

La eficiencia de los llamados Sistemas de Trabajo de Alto Rendimiento ha sido un objeto de estudio preferente en las dos últimas décadas. El análisis de su comportamiento se ha realizado considerando diversos factores que supuestamente moderan su eficiencia, entre los que destacan los factores internos de la empresa. Sin embargo, los factores externos, y más concretamente la perspectiva contextual, en contadas ocasiones han sido objeto de análisis. En este sentido, en este trabajo incorporamos el contexto cultural como variable moderadora de la eficiencia de la utilización de los Sistemas de Trabajo de Alto Rendimiento. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de una muestra de filiales exteriores de empresas multinacionales españolas, ponen de relieve la necesidad de tener en cuenta esta variable en las futuras investigaciones.
