    Study Notes

    Group Dynamics

    • A group is a collection of individuals who interact with each other, while a team is a group of interdependent individuals who work together to achieve a common goal.

    Stages of Becoming a Team

    • According to the Linear Perspective, the four stages of becoming a team are:
      • Forming: Getting to know each other
      • Storming: Conflicting ideas and perspectives
      • Norming: Developing a sense of cohesion
      • Performing: Working together towards a common goal

    Cohesion

    • Group cohesion is the strength of the bonds that link group members together
    • There are two types of cohesion:
      • Task Cohesion: Members work together to achieve a common goal
      • Social Cohesion: Members bond and interact with each other on a social level

    Social Loafing and Ringelmann Effect

    • Social loafing is when individuals exert less effort when working in a group than they would alone
    • The main cause of social loafing is the lack of accountability and diffusion of responsibility
    • The Ringelmann effect is the phenomenon where individual effort decreases as the size of the group increases
    • The best way to counteract social loafing is to set clear goals, define individual roles, and provide feedback

    Group Process Losses

    • Group process losses occur when the group's productivity is less than the sum of individual productivities
    • The three factors that contribute to group process losses are:
      • Coordination problems
      • Motivation losses
      • Cognitive losses
    • The formula for Group Process Losses is: Actual Productivity = Potential Productivity - Process Losses

    Group Environment Questionnaire

    • The Group Environment Questionnaire is used to assess group cohesion, particularly in sports teams

    Factors Affecting Group Cohesion and Outcomes

    • Four personal factors that can affect group cohesion are:
      • Personality
      • Motivation
      • Ability
      • Status
    • Four team factors that can affect group outcomes are:
      • Communication
      • Roles
      • Goals
      • Procedures
