Groups & Teams - Organizational BehaviourRajesh Shetty
This document discusses groups and teams. It defines that a group consists of two or more people who interact to achieve a goal, while a team is a specialized group that works intensely together towards a common goal. It outlines the stages of group development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Groups are compared to teams, noting that teams prioritize team progress, participative decision making, and respect among members. The impact of effective groups and teams is also summarized, including gaining a competitive edge and enhancing performance.
The document discusses various topics related to groups, including definitions of groups, types of groups, factors affecting group behavior, stages of group development, and approaches to group decision making. It provides definitions for key group-related concepts such as norms, roles, status, and cohesiveness. It also summarizes five stages of group development proposed by Bruce Tuckman: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Different techniques for group decision making are outlined, including brainstorming, nominal group technique, Delphi technique, and didactic interaction. Sources of conflict within groups and steps to resolve conflicts are briefly described.
The document discusses group cohesiveness and its importance for effective group functioning. It defines group cohesiveness as the bonds linking group members to each other and the group as a whole. It identifies five stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. The dimensions of group cohesiveness are described as group unity, attraction, and teamwork. Key factors that contribute to cohesiveness include threat, competition, time together, previous successes, difficulty of entry, group size, and similarity of attitudes and values. The benefits and disadvantages of cohesiveness are outlined, as well as ways to increase and decrease cohesion within a group.
This document summarizes key concepts of group dynamics and techniques for managing group dynamics. It defines a group as two or more people who share goals and interact with one another. It outlines stages of group development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. It also discusses group structure involving roles, norms, status, size, and cohesiveness. Finally, it lists techniques for managing group dynamics such as listing, stacking, pacing, checking the process, and brainstorming.
Groups are a collection of people who interact and share a common identity. They form for reasons like goal achievement and need satisfaction. Groups have characteristics like norms, roles, hierarchy, and composition. Forming teams allows pooling of talents to achieve shared objectives. The key differences between groups and teams are that teams have mutually agreed and clearly defined interests and skills while groups have diverse backgrounds and contributions. An example of a high performing team is the Indian cricket team, while departments in organizations are examples of groups.
The document discusses group dynamics and provides information on key concepts such as what constitutes a group, types of groups, reasons people join groups, group structure, stages of group formation, and principles of group dynamics. It summarizes that group dynamics is concerned with the interactions between group members and the forces that influence their behavior within a social situation. The goal is to understand how groups develop and function, and their impact on individuals and the organizations they are part of.
This document provides an overview of group dynamics and the scientific study of groups. It discusses key topics in the field including group formation, cohesion, influence, leadership, performance, conflict, and applications. The document outlines various types of groups and levels of analysis (micro, meso, macro). It also presents assumptions that guide research on groups, such as groups being real entities that shape society and can be studied scientifically. Major topics covered include inclusion, norms, power, decision-making, teams, intergroup relations, and how groups are impacted by their context and can be agents of change. The objectives are for learners to understand groups, paradigms in the field, topics studied, and participate in group activities.
The document discusses Bruce Tuckman's model of team development, which identifies 5 stages that teams generally progress through: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning. In the Forming stage, team members are cautious and focus on getting to know each other and their goals. Storming involves conflicts as roles and tasks are debated. Norming occurs as the team establishes cohesion, roles, and commitments. In Performing, the team works well together and is highly productive. Finally, Adjourning happens when the team disbands after completing its task.

This document discusses different theories of leadership, including trait theories, behavioral theories, and contingency theories. Trait theories focus on personality traits that differentiate leaders from non-leaders, but no universal traits have been identified. Behavioral theories propose that leadership can be taught and examine specific behaviors. Contingency theories emphasize that leadership effectiveness depends on matching a leader's style to the situation.
This document discusses various topics related to leadership including:
- The differences between a leader and manager. Leaders focus on people and outcomes while managers focus on tasks and rules.
- Important leadership traits like motivation, communication skills, honesty, and vision.
- Common leadership styles such as autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, bureaucratic, and transformational. The best style depends on objectives, followers, and the situation.
- Popular leadership theories including trait theory, situational theory, contingency theory, and transformational vs transactional leadership. Successful leadership requires adapting one's style to followers' needs and the context.
The document discusses various theories and concepts related to leadership. It defines leadership as a process of social influence where a person enlists others to accomplish a common task. Leadership involves developing a vision to motivate people towards a goal. The document outlines different types of leaders, the differences between managers and leaders, and several theories of leadership including trait theory, behavioral theory, contingency theory, and situational theory. It also discusses studies on leadership conducted at Ohio State University and the University of Michigan.
Group dynamics involves how people interact in groups and is influenced by personality, power, and behavior. It helps groups work effectively. There are formal groups structured for tasks and informal groups that emerge for interests. Small groups interact more but large groups have more resources. Bruce Tuckman identified 5 stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Group cohesiveness and norms also impact dynamics. Managing social loafing and maintaining performance are important.
This document discusses group behavior and dynamics, including Tuckman's five stages of group development (forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning), what motivates people to join groups (status, security, power, goal achievement, self-esteem, affiliation), and factors that influence group structure such as roles, norms, size, and cohesiveness. It also addresses group processes, tasks, and decision-making techniques.
Group dynamics refers to the behaviors and psychological processes within and between social groups. It was founded by Kurt Lewin to study group decision making, productivity, interaction, cohesiveness and communication. Group dynamics contains the interaction of forces among group members. Groups go through stages of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Groups are more than the sum of their parts and are influenced by leadership, deference to authority, and roles of group members. Groups shape individuals and society.
The document discusses groups and group dynamics. Some key points:
- A group is defined as two or more individuals interacting and interdependent who have come together to achieve objectives. Characteristics include social interaction, stability, and common interests/goals.
- There are formal groups designated by an organization's structure and informal groups that form in response to social needs. Formal groups have assigned roles and tasks while informal groups satisfy psychological needs.
- Groups go through stages of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning as they develop over time. Conflict occurs in the storming stage while cohesion increases in the norming stage and the group is able to perform its tasks.

The document discusses various theories and concepts related to leadership. It defines leadership as a process where a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs an organization. The document outlines four factors of leadership: the leader, followers, situation, and communication. It also discusses different leadership styles such as authoritarian, democratic, paternalistic, and laissez-faire. Finally, the document presents Robert Blake and Jane Mouton's Managerial Grid model which illustrates different leadership behaviors based on concern for tasks and concern for people.
Group cohesiveness refers to the ability of group members to think and act as one, whether physically together or not. It develops from a sense of belonging, attraction to other members, and commitment to working together to achieve shared goals. Factors that contribute to cohesiveness include threats to the group, difficulty entering the group, time spent together, smaller group size, past successes, and similarity of attitudes and values among members. Higher cohesiveness is generally associated with higher performance and productivity up to a moderate level, beyond which it can decrease performance. Ways to increase cohesiveness include agreeing on goals, increasing homogeneity, interactions, competition, and rewarding the group, while decreasing it involves disagreeing on goals,
The document defines different types of social groups including formal and informal groups, as well as crowds, mobs, audiences, and teams. It also examines the stages of group formation and different aspects of group structure such as norms, roles, status, and cohesiveness. Finally, it discusses several group processes including social facilitation, social loafing, and group polarization.
1. The document discusses group cohesion and its development over time. It defines cohesion as the attraction between group members and their commitment to the group as a whole.
2. Group cohesion develops through successive stages, from forming to storming to norming to performing, according to Tuckman's model of group development. Cohesion increases member satisfaction and group performance but can also increase conformity pressure.
3. The document also discusses goal setting, defining SMART goals as specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely targets that motivate individuals and aid performance.
Working in a team has several key advantages: it shares the workload and responsibility across multiple people, which reduces stress on individuals; it brings together a variety of expertise and talents from different team members, generating new ideas; and it saves time since tasks can be completed more efficiently by a group working together rather than alone. The document outlines these high-level advantages and emphasizes that all team members must understand their roles and work cooperatively as a single unit for teamwork to be effective.
Group dynamics is the study of forces operating within groups that influence individual and group behavior. Understanding group dynamics helps increase a group's productivity by finding relationships within the group and how forces act on members. Groups develop norms, roles, relationships, and other dynamic processes that distinguish them from random individuals. Members must have a strong sense of belonging for the group to function effectively. Ethical responsibility is important both for individual members and the group as a whole.
Group dynamics refers to the attitudinal and behavioral characteristics of a group. A group is defined as two or more individuals interacting and interdependent, who have come together to achieve particular objectives. Groups form through various stages of development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. There are both formal and informal groups. Formal groups are designated work groups within an organization while informal groups form in response to social needs. When making decisions as a group, individuals may shift their positions towards a more extreme risk level than their original individual decision due to factors like diffused responsibility and social status within the group.
This document defines group dynamics and discusses the formation and types of groups. It states that group dynamics is the study of forces operating within a group and the interaction between group members. Groups are formed for different reasons, including a sense of security, status, and goal achievement. The document outlines various theories of group formation and discusses the stages of group development from forming to adjourning. It also classifies groups into formal/informal, primary/secondary, and discusses reasons for group dynamics and functions of groups.
The document discusses understanding groups and teams in organizations. It defines groups and differentiates between formal and informal groups. It describes the five stages of group development as forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. It also discusses key group concepts like roles, norms, cohesiveness and conflict management. It then covers decision making in groups and compares individual versus group decision making. Finally, it defines teams, discusses why teams are popular in organizations, and describes the four most common types of teams as functional, cross-functional, supervised, and self-managed teams.
Group cohesiveness refers to the ability of group members to think and act as one, even when not physically together. It involves supporting the group's decisions, even if a member personally disagrees. Key dimensions that contribute to cohesiveness include group unity, attraction between members, and commitment to teamwork. Factors that increase cohesiveness are threats to the group, difficulty entering the group, time spent together, smaller group size, past successes, and similarity of attitudes/values. Ways to increase cohesion include agreeing on goals, homogeneous membership, interactions among members, smaller size, and competition with other groups. Benefits include increased morale, productivity, communication, and conformity.
The document compares the characteristics of groups and teams. It defines a group as two or more individuals who may or may not have a common goal and work independently. Teams are small numbers of people with complementary skills committed to a shared purpose and goals who are mutually accountable. The key differences are that teams have shared leadership, collective performance and accountability, while groups focus on individual work and outcomes. Effective teamwork provides benefits like a united effort, clear communication, and support between members.
There are two main types of groups - formal and informal. Formal groups are consciously created to serve organizational objectives and can be command groups, task groups, or functional groups. Informal groups develop naturally among people based on personal relationships or interests like friendship or shared interests.
Group development theories include Tuckman's model which outlines five stages - forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. During forming, members share information and get to know tasks. Storming involves competing for status and tension as conflicts emerge. Norming occurs as conflicts are resolved and roles are clarified, leading to the highly effective performing stage. Finally, adjourning involves preparing for the group's end.
This document discusses groups and teams in organizations. It defines groups and teams, and describes different types of groups like formal vs informal groups and task vs command vs interest groups. It also discusses characteristics that distinguish teams from groups. The document outlines factors that influence group dynamics and effectiveness, such as group size, task interdependence, roles, leadership, stages of group development, norms, conformity/deviance, and cohesiveness. It provides guidance for managers to motivate groups, reduce social loafing, and manage groups for high performance. Various group decision making techniques are also summarized.
The document discusses the concept of cohesiveness in groups. It defines cohesiveness as the degree of attraction and motivation for members to remain in a group. Highly cohesive groups have a shared sense of "we-ness" and unity in working towards goals. Cohesiveness is identified by loyalty to the group, compliance with norms, and willingness to defend the group. The level of a group's cohesiveness can impact its productivity, with highly cohesive groups tending to have more uniform and higher productivity among members. Ways to increase a group's cohesiveness include making it smaller, increasing time members spend together, and stimulating competition with other groups.

It also discusses the importance of trust, individual performance, problem-solving skills, team spirit, image, and regular review. Effective teams have the right ratios of these elements to maximize performance.
This document discusses an organization's external environment and how it impacts the organization. An organization's external environment consists of 10 sectors that influence it, including competitors, suppliers, customers, government regulations, and economic conditions. The document also examines how organizations structure themselves based on the level of uncertainty and complexity in their external environment, with more organic structures used in more uncertain environments. Finally, the document outlines strategies organizations can use to control their external environment, such as establishing partnerships or influencing regulations.
The document discusses the five stages of team development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, team members are just getting to know each other. Storming is characterized by differences and competing ideas, which leaders must help the team through. During norming, relationships are developing and team members start trusting each other and taking responsibility. The performing stage sees highly effective teamwork where decisions are made as a group. Finally, adjourning occurs when the team disbands and members return individually.
The document discusses the project life cycle which consists of four phases: initiation, planning, execution, and closure/evaluation.
The initiation phase involves defining the project scope, objectives, and resources. A business case and feasibility study are developed. In planning, detailed project, resource, financial, quality, risk, and acceptance plans are created.
Execution involves building deliverables while managing time, costs, quality, risks, issues, acceptance, and communications. Closure involves releasing deliverables, closing contracts, and communicating project end. An evaluation determines project success and lessons learned.
This document provides an overview of different learning theories: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, social learning, and cognitive learning. Classical conditioning involves associating an unrelated stimulus with a stimulus that naturally produces a response. Operant conditioning uses voluntary behaviors and consequences to shape behavior. Social learning involves observing and imitating others. Cognitive learning assumes people learn based on assigning meaning and evaluating consequences of stimuli and behavior. The document discusses examples of applications for each theory, such as treating phobias, behavior modification, observational learning in organizations, and cognitive evaluation of choices.
The document discusses different theories of organizational development including:
1. Classical Theory which focused on structure and formal organization and emphasized principles like division of labor, span of control, and chain of authority.
2. Human Relations School which emphasized social factors, behavior, and informal networks within organizations based on findings from the Hawthorne Studies.
3. Contingency Theory proposed by Joan Woodward which argued that no single organizational structure is best and the appropriate structure depends on contingencies like technology, products, skills, and environment.
Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors and uses rewards and punishments, with teachers responsible for student learning through lecture-based instruction. Constructivism and social constructivism emphasize students constructing knowledge through experiential and collaborative activities, with the latter adding social and group elements. Cognitivism and critical emancipatory theories are also briefly mentioned as part of a high-level overview of five major learning theories.
The Hawthorne Experiments consisted of four parts conducted between 1924-1932 at Western Electric Works in the US. The first experiment varied lighting levels and found productivity increased regardless, showing factors beyond lighting impacted work. The second experiment gave workers flexibility and found productivity rose. Interviews in the third experiment revealed productivity increased when workers could freely discuss important issues. The fourth embedded observers and found workers set their own standards. The conclusions determined social and psychological factors beyond physical conditions most impact productivity.

It identifies physical, mental, emotional, psychomotor skills, achievement, interests and aptitudes, and learning differences as types of individual differences. Factors affecting differences include heredity and environment. The educational implications are that not all students are the same, teachers should understand students' abilities and needs, and one teaching method does not work for all given individual differences. Schools can help meet these differences by understanding students, ability grouping, adjusting curriculum and teaching methods.

1. Elton Mayo and other researchers conducted a series of experiments known as the Hawthorne Experiments between 1924-1932 at the Hawthorne Works of Western Electric Company in Chicago.
2. The experiments sought to understand the impact of various workplace factors like lighting, breaks, incentives on worker productivity but found no conclusive relationships. Productivity increased regardless of changes, highlighting the importance of social and psychological factors.
3. The experiments demonstrated that workers are influenced more by social relationships and feeling of being valued rather than just physical and economic factors alone. This challenged prevailing views and established human relations as important in workplace management.

There are different types of teams, such as functional, cross-functional, and self-managed teams. Teams develop through five stages: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Building an effective team requires clarifying goals, roles, and conflicts as well as rewarding team performance. Teamwork involves each member contributing to achieve collective goals.
To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together.
... African proverb
A team is a collection of people with complementary skills who regularly interact to pursue common goals.
Bruce Tuckman proposed a model of team development with five stages: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. In the forming stage, team members are anxious and unsure of goals. Storming involves conflict as roles and ideas are discussed. During norming, trust increases and goals become clearer. In performing, the team works effectively toward shared goals. Finally, adjourning occurs when the team disbands after completing its task. The document provides characteristics and suggestions for how to support a team at each development stage.

Group dynamic leadership and managementअर्पणा भुसाल
The document discusses group dynamics, defining it as the forces operating within groups and the dynamic interaction between individuals in groups. It outlines the key characteristics of groups, including interaction between members, mutual awareness, belongingness, common goals, and norms. The document also examines the advantages of groups, the process of group formation according to Tuckman's model, and different types of formal and informal groups.
1) A group is defined as two or more interacting individuals who share common goals and perceive themselves as part of the group, while group dynamics studies the interactions and processes within groups.
2) Key features of groups include having at least two members who interact, develop leadership, have a collective identity, establish group norms, and ultimately find satisfaction from group membership.
3) Group development occurs in phases including forming, storming, norming, performing, and potentially adjourning for temporary groups, as the group establishes structure, roles, and becomes functional in accomplishing its goals.
Group formation occurs in stages, beginning with members getting to know each other and orienting in the forming stage. Conflicts arise in the storming stage as members disagree on roles and goals. In the norming stage, members develop trust and cohesion as they accept individual differences. The performing stage is when the group functions efficiently to achieve its common objectives. Finally, the adjourning stage occurs when the group disbands upon achieving closure or planned ending.
Cooperative learning involves students working in small groups to help each other learn. It has several benefits: it raises achievement for all students, builds positive relationships, and supports social and emotional development. Effective cooperative groups have five defining characteristics - members strive for a shared goal, hold each other accountable, work face to face, are taught social skills, and reflect on their effectiveness. For cooperation to be successful, lessons must incorporate positive interdependence, individual accountability, promotive interaction, teaching of social skills, and group processing.
