• It is a social process by which people interactand behave in a group
enviromnent.
• it involves the influence of personality, power, and behavior ont the group’s
processes.
• It segreagates groups into two types :
- Formal groups are structured to pursue specific tasks. they are usually
created to address persisting and long -tem objectives in the group
environment. they are characterized by member appointment, as well as
delegated authority and responsibility.
- Informal groups are groups thet emerge naturally in response to
organizational or member interest. interest may inclube anything from basic
groups that handle a particular situation or circumtance to groups that come
together to improve social and membe relationships.
Formation of groups, specifically formal groups, must be carefully deliberated on
to address advantages and disadvantages:
- Group size - Small groups may be overwhelmed by the workload, while large
groups are prone to conflict due to differing viewpoints, among other possible
problems. Groups must be as small as possible without compromising
workload/s.
- Group skills and performance - Groups must be created with considerations
to time, resources, and relations to other groups. Members must be segregated
according to their skills, relationships, and performance to ensure that objectives
are not compromised by time, consume too many resources, or create
unnecessary rivalries or conflicts.
- Group diversity - Groups must be balanced according to tasks or objectives.
For example, while male-only groups accomplish tasks faster, they may not be
diverse enough to meet most or all of an organization's needs; on the other
hand, diverse groups may meet organization requirements, but diversity may
hamper the group's overall performance.
Right after formation, any issue that may arise within groups and their members can be addressed via the
various stages of group development:
- Forming - Occurs right after member assignment in a group, members are preoccupied with
familiarizing themselves with the task and to other members of the group
- Storming - Also called the counter-dependent stage, it is the most critical stage in group development,
as is this the so-called "make-or-break" phase that determines whether the group will be effective or not.
At this stage, the group encounters conflict as members confront and criticize each other and the
approach the group is taking to their task. Issues that arise include the identification of roles and
responsibilities, operational rules and procedures, and the individual need for recognition of his or her
skills and abilities.
- Norming - This stage is the part where members start to resolve issues creating conflict and begin to
develop social agreements and compromises. Members begin to recognize their interdependence,
develop group cohesion, and agree on what is normal that will help them function effectively within the
group.
- Performing - This stage demonstrates that the group has sorted out its social structure and understands
its goals and individual roles to be able to move forward in its task/s. Mutual assistance and creativity
become prominent themes at this stage.
- Adjourning - Occurring during the completion or continued success in fulfilling its task/s, the group will
resort to some form of event that includes rites and rituals. These may include socials and parties, or
ceremonies that exhibit emotional support or celebration of their success.
