MAIN BODY
Concept of team group dynamics
Team group dynamics is basically the various unconscious as well as psychological
factors which influences and thus guides the behaviour of team as well as their performance. It is
generally built through the interaction of the team members and nature of their personalities,
working relationship along with other individuals. The origin of the team dynamics took place in
1895 by Gustave Le Bon. The main rationale behind its origin was that a single entity cannot
perform all the tasks and thus single better than double. The need for understanding the social
group resulted in the development of this concept (Hoch and Dulebohn, 2017).
Negative effect of group dynamics on team performance
Excessive competitiveness
When then team is not highly managed and thus there remains dominance of the one
person on the another then it eventually leads to the high competition among members of the
team.
Conflict
Difference in the way of thinking of the different members often lead to conflicts and
hence disappointment. When the team members have different pint of view and the perspectives
then they tend to go in different direction which lead to resentment and conflict.

Lack of individual recognition
When the single person forms team then the entire group gets the credit for tasks no
matter who have contributed how much. Thus, somewhere,the individual identity is lost and no
appreciation of contribution is present.
Social loafing
This is basically is predominately the phenomenon or process in which the single person
puts fewer efforts for achieving the goals while working in the team or group. In short, it is
basically the tendency of people for trying less and putting minimal effort for achieving the goals
of entire group.
The major negative effect of this social loafing impact the overall group and thus results
in the dismantle of the team (Srikanth, Harvey and Peterson, 2016). The major negative effect is
that productivity of the employees decreases due to which the whole group suffers and thus there
remains the reluctant in work. Another negative consequence is that the satisfaction level
decreases of group. The team members remain disappointed as well as depresses and thus this
eventually reduces their ability to learn.
The size of team impacts the degree of social loafing. When there is smaller groups than
its effectiveness increases as the leader has more time to spend with their employees as well as
employees can easily communicate with their leaders. Thu, this will eventually reduce the social
loafing.
3 strategies for preventing social loafing
Size of the team
The most important strategy for discouraging social loafing is to keep the size of team up
to five members. Due to less member, leader can easily pay more attention to the employees and
employees will also communicate effectively with the leaders.
More engagement
Having the employees to engage more and more with each other will help them to work
in collaboration and put maximum effort to achieve the goals.
Track performance
Social loafing mainly occurs when there is lack of monitoring and tracking the
performance of employees thus the leaders should set some key performance indicators for
monitoring the performance.

Group-thinking
Group-thinking is primarily the phenomenon which takes place when the entire group
reaches or comes to a census without any critical thinking or reason or the without evaluating the
various alternatives. It occurs when the individuals group have the desire for conformity as well
as harmony and thus this leads to the irrational decision-making.
Advantages as well as disadvantages of group-decision making
Advantages
Better judgment
When the whole group is involved in decision-making and thus works collaboratively
then it leads to better judgment.
Varied views
Due to the presence of diversity in group, there are different views of different people
which eventually helps in problem solving.
Greater involvement
As more and more people become engaged in solving the problem, thus their engagement
towards various increases (Rothaermel, 2017).
Disadvantages
Time consuming
As there are many people in group thus organizing them, coordinating them generally
takes more time and thus this is time-consuming.
Individual domination
The various discussions and debates are dominated in group by few individuals. Thus,
due to this dominance self-confidence of other people decreases.
Competition
Due to the dominance in group, the competition among the members increases which
eventually leads to conflict.
Team building techniques
Brainstorming
This is the most effective team building technique where the individuals are encouraged
to think creatively and submit their ideas. For example to solve the problem of decreased sales

all the team members will apply brainstorming and thus will come up with creative solution to
solve issue.

productively and thus contribute equally to the goals (Santos, Caetano and Tavares, 2015).

particular decision which are in the interest of while group. In short, through the team consensus
all the group members arrive at the decision which will help them in meeting the goals and
objectives of group.
Methods for team consensus

decision-making. Through this participation,different views will come for problem and thus

management should involve themselves in active listening to other problems and issues. This
will help in resolving dispute

When they will work towards same goal, they there will no chance of conflict.
