Introduction
In this research it was found that in today’s time working as a team has very much essential
role in the success of individual. This is not only necessary for the fact that it improves the

way in which organisation performs but it is also essential for enhancing the individual’s
performance. Many researchers over the years have studied the phenomenon of
organisational behaviour which plays a critical role in the team building. It is also significant
that companies in today’s time are focusing to work as a collaborative force. Similarly, the
challenges in the growth of the individual in any industry is growing at much faster speed
hence it is crucial that individuals also ensure their sustainability in the long term (Jackson,
Sibson and Riebe, 2014). Collaboration will allow firm to play a bigger role in the
management of team hence collaboration needs to be encouraged. This report will highlight
the fact that how ability to work in a team is important in today’s time. It also illustrates the
way in which collaboration can be encouraged and the way in which privacy affects the
collaboration.
Importance of ability to work as team
Siau, Tan and Sheng, (2010) believes that an individual who has been given certain kinds of
responsibilities will have to ensure that they have a support through which they can achieve
their tasks and goals appropriately. It is not easy for the individual to work as a team. This is
because there are many factors that are affecting the team orientation and performance.
Making a place for them within a team and at the same time ensuring that they have a proper
coordination with all other team members is not easy. It is seen that there is a decrease in the
performance of the team and the individuals when there is a poor team member skills. The
ability to work as a team member depends on the way in which the team skills are utilised by
the individual. For this, it is crucial that individual’s regularly develops their skills related to
team working (Ro and Choi, 2011). For instance, communicational skills play a major role in
working as a team member. This can be understood in terms of the fact that there are people
from different parts of the world and there is cultural difference among these people hence it
becomes difficult for an individual to work in these multi-cultural teams.
On the other hand Fapohunda, (2013) suggests that every individual does not have skills to
work as a team and this is the major reason why they fail in their work process. It is important
for the individual to develop ability to work in a team as it is the demand of the people in the
current times. First thing that needs to be understood is that team working ability allows
individuals to reduce the numbers of mistakes. This is illustrated with the fact that if an
individual fails in any of their tasks or if he is not able to perform as per the demands of the
organisation, it is the team that can help him. The support from the individuals gives him the

3
time to enhance their performance by looking at the variables that can give them success. For
finding the reasons why they are not able to improve their performance the role of team
members become very much essential (Bowen, 2013). For an individual they must know the
areas in which they need improvement and they must have a plan to achieve these team
building skills. In this the role of team members becomes highly crucial.
Rhee, Parent and Basu, (2013) has a view that Yes the ability to work in a team is very much
important. In the time when the business and work related challenges have become
significant, this ability has become crucial for their survival. This is because people will have
to change their working methodologies according to the changing business environment.
Ability to work in a team gives an individual to learn things that they can utilise in their work
as well. This is because a team consists of different members having different kinds of skills
and experience. Learning these skills can be difficult for the individual when they are alone.
Within a team it gives them an opportunity where they can learn new things. Assistance from
the people that are from different parts of the world allows an individual to develop skills
within them. Ability to effectively communicate with the team members within a team allows
an individual to learn new things. The most basic thing that an ability to work in a team
teaches is how people from different socio-cultural backgrounds behaves when they have
been given opportunity to work in a team (Thomas, 2014). At the same time this ability also
allows an individual to learn about several aspects of working in a multicultural environment.
For instance learning different types of languages can be easier when an individual works
within the team.
On the contrary S. DeOrtentiis, et al. (2013) states that ability to work in a team also allows
an individual to check their leadership skills. This is because team leadership is an essential
aspect that an individual must have for their personal and professional growth. Working in a
team allows an individual to gain these team leadership skills which is very much essential in
the modern day context. It is also to be understood that an individual practices leadership
skills from the team or the team leader they have been working in. Ability to work as a team
member helps an individual to learn the coordination that they can build among a group
(Pogge, 2013). In a team they learn how to put their points, how to give their own
contribution to the team. This is essential in the current time when there is significant need of
performing better.
