GROUP AND TEAM BEHAVIOR
WHAT IS GROUP BEHAVIOR?
Group behavior in organizations tends to follow the
organizational norms and rules wherein the employees
are expected to be disciplined, follow orders, and work to
the requirements of the organization rather than their own
whims and fancies. Indeed, the extreme form of groups
conforming to the common codes of behavior is the armed
forces wherein all members at whatever level they are in
are expected to follow the orders of their superiors.
ADVANTAGE OF GROUP
BEHAVIOR:
There are many advantages to organizations by ensuring
that employees stick to the group rules and norms. For
instance, organizations are formed for a specific purpose
and if the employees are allowed free run and the free
rein, more often than not, the result is chaos and anarchy.
GROUPTHINK AND ITS EFFECTS:
it must also be noted that such strict adherence to group
norms sometimes robs the individuals of their creativity
and passion as they need to subordinate their ideas to the
wishes and the needs of the group and this is the
phenomenon of groupthink which expressed in layperson
terms means the decision reached by the group is not
necessarily the wish of all the members but the least
common denominator or the consensus that can be both
right and wrong depending on the circumstances.
GROUPTHINK AND ITS EFFECTS:
Indeed, in the post modern management literature,
groupthink has acquired a negative connotation as many
experts believe that the group decision is sometimes
arrived at just because it is the safest alternative and not
necessarily the best alternative. Moreover, groupthink
also makes the members susceptible to being safe rather
than risk the wrath of the group by suggesting better
alternatives and indeed, the herd mentality which is
another term for groupthink sometimes works negatively.
CONCLUSION:
What are we to make of the group behavior in
organization?

-unless there are groups and they conform to the norms

and rules of conduct, it is impossible for the organizational
ship to move forward as otherwise each member would be
pulling and steering it in different directions
