Explain How Groups Behave Differently to Individuals Within an Organization and What Characteristics They Exhibit.
4.1 Explain how groups behave differently to individuals within an organization and what characteristics they exhibit.
A group is a collection of individuals who have regular contract and they interact frequently this is because they have a something in common, mutual influence and who work together to achieve a set of common goals. (1) Where as an individual is a person that works by him/herself to achieve their own goals.
Group’s behavior refers to the situations where people interact in large or small groups. The field of group dynamics deals with small groups that may reach consensus and act in a coordinated way. Groups of a large number of people in a given area may act simultaneously to achieve a goal that differs from what individuals would do acting alone
A large group is likely to show examples of group behavior when people gathered in a given place and time act in a similar way—for example, joining a protest or march, participating in a fight or acting patriotically.
Group Dynamics
Tuckman’s Model of Group Development
Forming: in which the group is just coming together. It is often characterized by shyness, uncertainty among the members, although adventures members may rapidly assume some kind of leadership.
Storming: is having been established, there is a period of jockeying for position, authority and influence among the members. In classes, this is the period of "testing-out" the teacher. Disagreements appear or are manufactured and roles are eventually allocated. The initial leaders may not survive this period: it is the most uncomfortable phase of the group's life—a sort of group adolescence.
Norming: having sorted out its internal structure, there is then the issue of what the group stands for. What kind of behavior and contribution is acceptable and what isn't? Members explore behind the power processes of storming and begin to form some idea of the group's identity: the "group in the mind". This is rarely done explicitly, of
