2. Group Dynamics
 It is related to the interaction between group members in a
social situation.
 The term ”Group Dynamics” describes the way in which
people in a group interact with one another. When dynamics
are positive, the group works well together. When dynamics
are poor, the group’s effectiveness is reduced.
 The social process by which people interact and behave in a
group environment is called Group Dynamics. Group
Dynamics involves the influence of personality, power, and
behaviour on the group process.

3.  The Group ‘Dynamics’ is derived from a Greek word
which means ‘force’.
 Thus Group Dynamics are the forces working in a
group.
 Kurt Lewin established the Research centre for Group
Dynamics in 1945.
 Many factors in the work environment affect group
behaviour. the two most broad aspects are:-
1.The physical environment, e.g. plants, equipment,
layout.
2.The psycho-social environment, e.g. worker needs,
reward system, work group structure.

4. Type of Group Dynamics
 In Organisation, we commonly see two types of groups:
1. Formal Group Dynamics
2. Informal Group Dynamics
1. Formal Group Dynamics:- The purpose of a formal
group is to perform tasks and meet specific targets.
Department, committees and board of directors are a
few example of formal groups organizations.
2. Informal Group Dynamics:- Informal groups are a
result of socio-psychological forces that encourage
people to interact and engage with each other.

5. Group Bond
 It refers to ‘Group Cohesiveness’ or ‘sense of
belonging’. It is the force bringing group members
closer. Group Bond may be emotional or task-related.
 Emotional Bond:- Derives from the connection that
members feel to other members.
 Task-related Bond:- Degree to which group members
share group goals and work together to meet these goals.
 The effectiveness of a group can be understood through
Group Bond.

6. Sub-Group
 Subgroup means a separate, smaller, and sometimes less
important part of a group
 Sub-groups are “subsets of group members who are each
characterized by a unique form or degree of
interdependence”.
 Sub-groups are ideal for creating a safe space for all
participants to engage, complete specific tasks, and share.
 Formation of sub-groups is natural and sometimes necessary.
 Some Example of Subgroups are as follows;- Men and
women are subgroup of society, In a School Boys Girls and
Teacher are Subgroup of School.

7. Group Roles
 In a formal group, roles are usually predetermined and
assigned to the members.
 Each Role will have specific responsibilities and duties.
 There are also emergent roles that evolved naturally to meet
the needs of groups.
 Some roles are as follows;-
1. Facilitator
2. Initiator
3. Arbitrator
4. Navigator
5. Coordinator
6. Evaluator

8. CONCLUSION
 We have presented a conceptual framework to help
guide, organize, and refine thinking about group
dynamics in social work practice with treatment and
task group
 Similarly, task groups such as committee, and board of
director, are not merely collections of individuals.
