GROUP COHESIVENESS
CAUSES AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
PREPARED BY

GROUP COHESIVENESS
 Feeling of “togetherness” or “us against them” that creates a
closeness among group members.
 The extent to which individual members of a group are
motivated to remain in the group.
 According to Stephen P Robbins, “Group cohesiveness is the
degree to which members are attracted to each other and are
motivated to stay in the group.”
CAUSES OF GROUP COHESIVENESS
Interpersonal Attraction
This means group members have a preference or want to interact with
each other. Group members enjoy this interaction and seek it out.
Group Pride
This involves group members viewing their membership to a specific
group with fondness. They feel proud and valuable to the group.
Commitment to the Work of the Group
Group members are willing to work together to complete tasks which
are aligned with these group goals, even through adversity.
DETERMINANTS OF GROUP
COHESIVENESS
• Group homogeneity.
The more homogeneous the group—that is, the more members share
similar characteristics and backgrounds—the greater the cohesiveness.
• Group maturity
Continued interaction over long periods of time helps members
develop a closeness born of shared experiences.
• Group size.
Smaller groups have high cohesiveness, due to less complex
interpersonal interaction patterns.
• Frequency of interaction.
Groups with regular or frequent interaction tend to become more
cohesive than groups that meet less frequently or whose
are more isolated.
• Clear group goals.
Groups with clear goals develop greater cohesiveness, because of
shared sense of mission and the absence of conflict over mission.
• Competition or external threat.
When groups sense external threat or hostility, they tend to band
together more closely, due to sense of “safety in numbers.”
• Success
Group success on a previous task often facilitates increased
cohesiveness and a sense of “we did it together.”
CONSEQUENCES OF GROUP
COHESIVENESS
Maintenance of membership
If the attractiveness of the group is sufficiently stronger than the
attractiveness of alternative groups, then we would expect the
individual to remain in the group. Hence, turnover rates should be
low.
Participation and Loyalty
Group cohesiveness increases, communication among members, a
greater degree of participation in group activities, and less
absenteeism. Members of highly cohesive groups tend to be more
cooperative and friendly.
CONSEQUENCES OF GROUP
COHESIVENESS
Level of Satisfaction
members of highly cohesive groups generally report high levels of
satisfaction because it is unlikely that members will feel like staying
with a group with which they are dissatisfied
Power of group over members
The power of a group over members depends upon the level of
outcomes members expect to receive from the group compared to
what they could receive through alternate means.
Relationship between group cohesiveness,
goal agreement, and performance
THANK YOU
