Management and Organizational BehaviorIntroductionEvery organization consists of a groups of individuals that work separately to reach a common goal. Groups can have both positive and negative effects on individual performance and decision-making abilities. “Groups are basically people working together for a common purpose”,[ CITATION Ste06 \l 1033 ].Primarily it is imperative to understand the difference between groups and teams.Part One, groupsGroups are two or more workers who come together to achieve specific personal responsibilities and particular common objectives. The group’s performance is merely a summation of each group members’ individual effort. For example, if there is an organization with three workers and each of them is able to produce ten units per day individually. It can be assumed that when they will be working together as a group they will produce thirty units. There could invariably becertain activities conducted during the day like social loafing that would impact the group’s performance. But it is safe to assume that the group’s performance will be better than one individual’s performance.Understanding group dynamicsAll groups have dynamics owing to members of the group individually due to their personality. Group dynamics reflect interactions between group members, and the group’s interactions with other groups. The meaning of group dynamics is, “the influential actions, processes, and changes that occur within and between groups over time.” [ CITATION Don09 \l 1033 ]. The behaviors of individuals in one group and the behaviors of one group of people with another group of people can affects these processes and are an important factor responsible for group dynamics.3
