Literature review
According to the perspective of Shouvik Sanyal (2018),
It is compulsory to work within a team for all kind of organisation because there are
many benefits of performing task within a team like completion of task before the due date,
teammates help each other if they found any issues in performing their work at organisation,
teamwork also enhance the culture of an organisation and build good relationships between
management team and employees. It also develops the reputation of company at marketplace
(Hossain and et. al., 2018). Hence, for the all above stated factors teamwork is compulsory to
have within an organisation.
According to the view point of Emmanuel OSEI BOAKYE (2015),
Building teamwork within an organisation impacted upon overall performance of
employees and growth of company because employee’s performance gets improved when they
work in a team. A team of employees always help each other and share their ideas and thoughts
with each other for the techniques of completing their work on time (Byker and Thomas, 2018).
Moral of employees also developed through team work and a highly moral and satisfied
employee always perform well in company. Good performing employees contribute to growth of
organisation.
According to the perspective of Shu Feng Chien (2020),
There are many factors which influence teamwork within a company like behaviour,
communication, coordination, ideas and thoughts and many others. It is necessary to identify the
factors which influence team working within an organisation to work upon them. Behaviour of
employees is the biggest factor which enhances teamwork because behaviour of employees
decides whether they are able to work with a team or not. It is considered that a rude behavioural
employee is not able to work with a team and a polite behavioural employee can form a team and
work efficiently. Communication and coordination are another important factor to work with a
team (Metcalf and et. al., 2018). Without proper communication and coordination no team can
do their work according to their plan. Hence, transparent and easy flow of communication is
important and a good coordination between all teammates is essential for company to grow.
