This document defines small group communication and its primary features. A small group has 3-15 members who communicate freely and have common goals and purposes. Key characteristics include interdependence between members, as the actions of one affect the whole group, and a common task that is the purpose of the group. Small groups also have norms and an identity that distinguishes members from non-members. There are different types of small groups including primary, social, self-help, learning, service, public, and work groups.

There are different types of groups such as formal, advisory, creative, and support groups. The document also outlines several models of group development stages including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Additional stages discussed are orientation, conflict, emergence, and reinforcement. Key features of groups mentioned are togetherness, expectations about performance, and developing group norms and culture.
Small group communication
Small group communication is defined as communication between 3 to 15 members who freely communicate with each other and share common goals and purposes. The key features of small groups include their size, members, tasks, and norms. There are also primary types of small groups such as social groups, self-help groups, learning groups, service groups, public groups, work groups, and virtual groups. Small group communication can involve different types of talk centered around tasks, roles, identity, and interpersonal exchanges.
Jan 26 Small Group Communication
Small Group Communication in Health Care discusses key components of small group dynamics including goals, norms, cohesiveness, leader behavior, and member behavior. Effective small groups have clearly defined, realistic goals. Norms refer to the explicit and implicit rules that group members follow. Highly cohesive groups where members feel a sense of belonging can be beneficial if the goals are clear. The leader's role is to influence members to achieve mutual goals through either a linear or transactional style. Member roles include task roles like initiating ideas as well as relationship building roles.
Ch8 small group communication power point
This document defines and describes small group communication. Small group communication involves interaction between 3 to 9 people working interdependently. There are two main types of small groups: assigned groups where members are appointed, and emergent groups that are self-formed. A group develops a unique culture over time through norms, roles, and climate. Norms are the rules that guide behavior, roles are patterns of interaction either formal/positional or informal/behavioral, and climate is the emotional atmosphere created by trust, support, and cohesiveness among members. However, high cohesiveness can lead to "groupthink" where critical analysis is replaced with agreement at the expense of effective decision making.

Unit 3 group dynamics.
Groups consist of 2 or more interacting individuals who share common goals and perceive themselves as part of the group. They form through interaction and developing shared attitudes. Formal groups are created by organizations to fulfill tasks and goals, with defined structures and roles. Informal groups form naturally based on personal similarities and provide social and emotional benefits. High cohesion occurs when members are strongly attached through frequent interaction and shared goals. Teams are small groups with complementary skills committed to common goals and mutual accountability for performance. They enhance productivity through collaborative work.
Stages of group development
The document discusses group dynamics and development. It describes the stages a group goes through, including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. It also discusses factors that influence group cohesion and performance such as group composition, size, norms, and cohesiveness. Highly cohesive groups with clear communication tend to be more productive and effective than groups with low cohesion or ambiguous goals.

In organizational development(OD), group dynamics or group process‖ refers to the understanding of the behavior of people in groups, such as task groups, that are trying to solve a problem or make a decision.
Foundation of group behaviour
This document discusses the foundations of group behavior. It defines groups as two or more individuals who interact and work together to achieve common objectives. It explores why people join groups and examines key properties of groups including status, size, and cohesiveness. Status is determined by factors like power, ability to contribute, and personal characteristics, and it impacts group interactions and norms. While smaller groups work faster, larger groups are better at problem-solving but risk social loafing. Cohesiveness, or the attraction between group members, is related to group productivity, and managers can encourage it by making the group smaller, emphasizing shared goals, increasing time together, and giving group rather than individual rewards.

Presantation on group dynamics
This document discusses group dynamics and defines it as the interactions and forces between members of a group. It provides definitions of key terms like group, dynamics, formal and informal groups. It also outlines the different types of groups like formal, informal, primary, secondary, task and reference groups. It discusses the stages of group development from forming to adjourning. Finally, it highlights some important factors in group dynamics like prestige, information sharing, pressure for change, and group attractiveness.
Groups and Organizations
A group is defined as two or more people interacting for a common purpose, with identifiable membership and social structure. Groups have norms, roles, and reciprocity among members. They can be primary groups with close emotional bonds or secondary groups focused on goals. Organizations are formal secondary groups established to achieve objectives. Bureaucracies are large, rule-based organizations necessary for efficient operation but also criticized for "red tape." Leadership styles vary from authoritarian to democratic to laissez-faire depending on the group's needs. Normative, coercive, and utilitarian organizations recruit members differently to fulfill their purposes.

The Human Group
The human group is an essential part of human existence. People are born into groups, socialize within groups, learn from groups, and are mourned by their groups at death. A group is composed of two or more interacting individuals guided by shared norms to achieve common objectives. It involves a specified number of people who recognize each other as members and non-members. Social groups imply both shared traits and awareness of others working toward socially shared goals.

There are several key properties that shape group behavior:
1. Roles define expected behaviors for group members. Norms establish acceptable standards for behaviors.
2. Status differentiates members based on power, contributions, and characteristics. It affects conformity and interactions.
3. Group size impacts performance, problem solving, and social loafing. Small groups are better for speed and individual work while large groups support fact-finding.
4. Cohesiveness is the attraction between members and motivation to stay together. Increasing time together, competition, and rewards can boost cohesiveness.
Group Structure (Psychology of Small Groups)
Group structure refers to the roles, norms, and networks of relationships that define and organize a group. Norms are unwritten rules that regulate members' behaviors and develop gradually over interactions. Roles are sets of expected behaviors for people in certain positions within a group. Role differentiation occurs as roles become more specialized. Status differentiation is when some members gain more authority, with certain individuals acquiring status through their accepted claims and authority. Communication and attraction networks describe who interacts most frequently within the group, influencing outcomes like performance and satisfaction.
Why do people join in groups
Groups form when two or more individuals interact regularly, are aware of one another, and see themselves as part of the same group. People join groups for several key reasons: closeness and bonding with others, achieving common goals through collaboration, and fulfilling personal objectives like prestige and importance. Groups in the workplace include both formal groups set up by management and informal groups that emerge to meet personal needs. What makes an effective group includes cohesiveness, clearly defined roles and norms, a sense of status among members, and homogeneity. Joining a group provides benefits like increased productivity, skills development, self-knowledge, and fulfilling social and growth needs.
Types of groups
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.
Group dynamics
This document discusses group dynamics and characteristics of groups. It defines groups as having 2 or more persons, a formal social structure, common goals and fate, face-to-face interaction, and interdependence. It also outlines the typical stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Additionally, it describes different types of groups like command groups, task groups, functional groups, interest groups, and friendship groups. Finally, it lists eight characteristics of effective team building: clear expectations, commitment, competence, control, collaboration, communication, creativity, and coordination.
Role Of Groups In Organization
- Groups play an important role in organizational behavior. There are various stages of group development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.
- Group decision making has advantages like synergy and sharing of information, but also disadvantages like diffusion of responsibility, lower efficiency, and groupthink.
- Techniques for effective group decision making include brainstorming, nominal group thinking, didactic technique, and the Delphi technique. These techniques aim to generate novel ideas and reach consensus while avoiding biases.

Social groups
Social groups consist of people who share a common identity and goals. Social organizations are highly structured groups that perform complex tasks to achieve goals efficiently. There are different types of social groups including primary groups based on intimate relationships and secondary groups based on more impersonal ties. Formal organizations use rules, hierarchies, and procedures while informal groups provide relaxation and social well-being. Bureaucracies are large, formal organizations with division of labor, hierarchies of authority, written rules, impersonal relationships, and employment based on technical qualifications.

Group dynamics
Group dynamics is the study of how groups work and the behaviors of individuals within groups. Tuckman's model outlines 5 stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Groups can be either formal, established by an organization, or informal, formed naturally based on shared interests. Group structure refers to the relationships within a group and can be described by factors like size, roles, norms, and cohesiveness.

Small group communication
Small groups are fundamental building blocks of society that fulfill important human needs like inclusion, affection, and control. Small-group communication involves interaction between 3-9 people working together towards a shared goal. There are different types of small groups, including task-oriented groups focused on objectives, relationship-oriented groups that meet social needs, assigned groups with hierarchical membership, and emergent groups that form organically. Understanding small groups and effective communication within them is an important skill.
organisational behaviour- groups
A group consists of two or more individuals who have some shared sense of identity and interact with one another. Groups can be formal or informal. Formal groups are intentionally organized within an organization to accomplish specific tasks or goals, while informal groups emerge spontaneously as people interact over time. Key aspects of groups include interaction among members, shared goals, and members seeing themselves as part of the group. Group dynamics and norms influence member behavior. Cohesiveness, or the degree of attraction between members, also impacts group functioning.
Group dynamics
There are several key factors that contribute to effective groups and teams. Groups are classified based on how they are formed (planned or emergent) and their purpose (primary, secondary, task-oriented). Successful teams and groups have clearly defined goals, the right composition and skills among members, established norms, and foundations like trust, leadership, and decision-making. The stages of group development include forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Group dynamics and performance are influenced by characteristics such as size, composition, cohesiveness, and norms.
