The document defines and discusses groups and teams. It states that a group refers to an association of two or more people interacting to achieve common goals, while a team comprises a group of people with different skills working together on a common project. The key differences are that in a group, individual performance is emphasized and the leader is accountable, while in a team the entire team is accountable and members share a common commitment. Groups form for reasons like security, status, affiliation, and goal achievement by pooling talents. Groups can be formal, created by an organization, or informal and spontaneous. Models of group development include the five stage model of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

2.  A group refers to the association of two or
more persons interacting among
themselves for the achievement of

 Two or more individuals, interacting and
interdependent, who have come together
to achieve particular objectives.

3.  They have some common purpose or goal.
 There exist a relatively stable structure (a
hierarchy, an established set of roles).
 This collection of people see themselves as
being part of that group.

different tasks, work together on a
common project, service, or goal, with a
meshing of functions and mutual support.

6. Why do group form?
•The similar attraction effect.
•Security:
•By joining a group, individuals can reduce the feeling of insecurity
of “standing alone”.
•By belonging to a group, people feel stronger, have fewer self-
doubts, and are more resistant to threats.
Status:
Inclusion in a group theta is viewed as important by other
provides recognition and status for its members.

7. Affiliation:
Group can fulfill social needs when people enjoy the regular
interaction with their group members.
Power:
What cannot be achieved individually often become possible through
group action. There is power of numbers.
Goal achievement:
Sometimes it takes more than one person to accomplish a particular
task – there is a need to pool talents, knowledge or power in order to
complete a job.

8. TYPES OF GROUP :
Formal group
•Formal groups are
deliberately created by the
organization to achieve

grouping of people
whenever they work
together over a period of
time.
•Informal groups develop

organizations members
without any direction

authority.

9. How GROUPS are formed?
Formation of Groups
There are two models of group development.
These are:
1. Five-Stage Model
2. Punctuated Equilibrium Model

10. Five-Stage Model of Group Development
I. Forming:
The initial stage of group development,
characterized predominantly by much uncertainty
among the group members.
II. Storming:
Is the next stage that is characterized by a high
degree of conflict among the members.
III. Norming:
The third stage in group development, characterized
by close relationships and cohesiveness.

11. IV. Performing:
The fourth stage in group development, during
which the group is fully functional.
V. Adjourning:
The final stage in group development, after
achieving the objectives for which it was created,
starts to gradually dissolve itself.
