Group dynamics refers to the social processes that impact how groups develop and perform. There are formal groups, which are structured to perform tasks, and informal groups, which emerge naturally. Key factors that affect group dynamics include group size, structure, development, functions, and roles. Group development typically progresses through forming, storming, norming, and performing stages. Effective groups have clear roles and norms to guide task and maintenance behaviors toward achieving goals.
