What is a group? What are the norms of group behavior?





Every organization is a group. A group refers to two or more people who share common ideas and come together to achieve work. Groups are also known as teams. All though an individual has a mind and thoughts of there own, as a team each person interacts to form one identity.

There are many types of groups, some that work together better than others. We learn group participation from as early as our toddler years through playgroup interaction and daycare settings. As we grow older we develop interactions and form groups that are beneficial to several aspects of life. Being able to work with others is a characteristic that everyone should have, and will follow us into many areas in life such as-- leisure sport groups, workplaces, and school/college. Groups can be categorized into informal and formal settings.

The structure, interaction, and communication of the group will determine the success or failure of the group. A function group will emit positive behaviors that will result in a productive and successful team. Whereas, a group with a lot of issues with negative behaviors and no structure results in no production and no achievement.
