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
Miscellaneous
- The definition of group cohesion according to Carron, Brawley & Widmeyer is "a dynamic process that is reflected in the tendency for a group to stick together and remain united in the pursuit of its objectives"
