Group concept
Direct interaction between two or more people
Common goals A group
Mutual dependence
Feeling of belonging to the group
Group usually is small number of people, when a department becomes too large, sub-
departments are usually formed.
, Fleur Bongers
Formal groups
Administrative groups → determine the goals of organisation, how it should be structured,
activities are planned, managed, coordinated and how problems in organisation should be
resolved. Ex. Management consultation groups, departmental heads, BOD, work council etc.
Executive groups → carried out in work groups, have a common goal and a need to allocate
and coordinate activities.
Self-managing teams → make production work less monotonous by allowing the employees
to work in teams and giving them executive, planning and supervisory tasks. First aim is to
increase quality of work → give employees varied task/greater responsibility. – can work in
a more customer orientated manner, therefore, respond better to demands of market. –
might be more flexible – must have 1. Both executive, planning or controlling activities. 2. As
few decisions as possible should come from higher ranked people. 3. Must constitute a
‘family’.
Virtual groups → all discussions between all members happen virtual. Hybrids of virtual
communication with face-to-face meetings.
Informal groups → can develop spontaneously, friendships based on common interests,
sports, emotions etc.

- Collective needs can only be
developed by individuals uniting in a
group
Groups as social environment → form in their social environments → influence each others
behaviour → active influence is a form of conscious influence → passive influence occurs if
group members do not set out to influence each other but do anyways
, Fleur Bongers
Conforming → the ‘price’ for belonging to a group is that a person must conform with the
accepted ideas and models of behaviour within the group. Pressure is often exerted on
group members who are different or display different behaviour.
Conforming-influencing factors
Scope of majority and unanimity
- Discomfort
- Uncertainty
- Allies
Task or subject characteristics
- Difficult tasks cause more uncertainty about the accuracy of a solution, increasing
the tendency to take notice of the opinions of others.
Personality characteristics
- Self esteem
- Needs
- Commitment
Forming → storming → norming → preforming → adjourning
Forming
- First uncertainty dominates
- People will be more inclined to take cautious attitudes than push forward
- The leader (if formed) will dominate and people will focus on their behaviour to
determine their own
- People avoid conflics
- Viability in task-oriented and social-emotional areas will be investigated
- Slowly becomes clear what people desire and what their ideas are. People will try
reveal themselves more
Storming
- Becomes clearer how group members behave and what they want to do
- Likelihood of opposition increases which could lead to conflict
- Group can have open discussions and contradictions
Norming
- Resolution of conflicts within group takes place mainly through trial and error
- Solutions are often formed in this stage and less conflict takes place
Preforming
- Members reached sufficient agreements about goals, methods and interactions with
one and other. Less energy to resolving conflict but invested in ‘preforming’.
Adjourning
- Once the task is completed members often go their own way.
- Sometimes conflict is too much and group members give up or –
- Cost invested in group is too high and rewards received too low
Diadic interaction: the smallest unit of interaction that can take place in a collaboration
between two people. The success of the good conversation depends on the desires and
viewpoints of participants
