STAGES OF GROUP FORMATION

• FORMING
• STORMING
• NORMING
• PERFORMING
TYPES OF GROUPS

• FORMAL GROUP:AGROUP IS FORMAL


WHEN IT IS PURPOSELY DESIGNED TO
ACCOMPLISH AN ORGANISATIONAL
OBJECTIVE TASK
• INFORMAL GROUP:THEY ARE
ESTABLISHED BY ORGANISATIONS TO
ACHIEVE SOME SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE.
GROUP NORMS
• GROUP NORMS ARE THE INFORMAL
GUIDELINES OF BEHAVIOUR AND A CODE
OF CONDUCT THAT PROVIDES SOME
ORDER AND CONFORMITY TO GROUP
ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONS. THESE
RULES ARE EXPECTED TO BE FOLLOWED
BY ALL THE GROUP MEMBERS.THESE
NORMS AND RULES USUALLY DEVELOP
GRADUALLY AND INFORMALLY AS GROUP
MEMBERS LEARN AS TO WHAT
BEHAVIOURS ARE NECESSRAY FOR THE
GROUP TO FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY.
WHY DO PEOPLE JOIN /DEVELOP A
GROUP
THERE NO SINGLE REASON WHY INDIVIDUAL
JOIN GROUP.SINCE MOST PEOPLE BELONG TO
NUMBER OF GROUPS. IT IS OBIVIOUS
THAT DIFFERENT GROUPS OFFER DIFFERENT
ATTRACTIONS AND BENEFITS THEIR MEMBERS.
THE MOST POPULAR
REASON FOR JOINING A GROUP IS RELATED TO
OUR NEEDS FOR SECURITY ,ESTEEM ,
AFFILIATION POWER,IDENTITY,HUDDLING AND
TASK FUNCTIONS.
PROXIMITY,INTERACTIONANDINFLUENCE:

ONE OF THE MOST REASON WHY PEOPLE JOIN


GROUPS IS BECAUSE THEY WORK
NEAR EACH OTHER . INFORMAL GROUPS SEEM
TO FORM AMONG THOSE WHO ARE IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY.
ADDITIONALLY,WHEN PEOPLE HAVE
FREQUENT INTERACTION OR CONTACT WITH
ONE ANOTHER THERE IS LIKELIHOOD
THAT THEY WILL FORM A GROUP.FINALLY,IF
THE BEHAVIOUR OF ONE INDIVIDUAL
INFLUENCES THAT OF OTHERS,THEY
ARE LIKELY TO FORM A GROUP .
SECURITY:PROBABLY THESTRONGEST
REASON FOR FORMATION IS THE
PEOPLE'SNEED FOR SECURITY.BY
JOINING A GROUP WE CAN
REDUCE OUR INSECURITY - WE FEEL
STRONGER,HAVE FEWER SELF-DOUBTS
AND ARE MORE RESISTANT TO THREATS.
• ESTEEM : AN INDIVIDUAL CAN
INCREASE HIS SELF ESTEEM THROUGH
GROUP MEMBERSHIP.
ONE MAY GAIN ESTEEM BY BECOM
ING AMEMBER OF A HIGH STATUS
GROUP.ASSOCIATING WITH HIGH
STATUS PEOPLE IS REINFORCING AND
ONE WHO BELONGS TO SUCH
A GROUP IS USUALLY ACCORDED AHIGH
STATUS BY OUTSIDERS.
• AFFILIATION:ANOTHER REASON WHY
PEOPLE JOIN GROUPS IS THAT THEY ENJOY
THE REGULAR COMPANY OF OTHER PEOPLE
,PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO POSSES COMMON
INTERESTS. INDIVIDUALS MAY SEEK OUT
OTHERS AT WORK WHO SHARE COMMON
HOBBIES /BACKGROUDS.ESPECIALLY WHEN
PEOPLE ARE NEW TO ORGANISATION ,THEY
ARE EAGER TO FIND FRIENDS WITH WHOM
THEY CAN CHECK THEIR PERCEPTION S OF
NE,ORUNCERTAIN ENVIRONMENT
POWER:MEMBERSHIP OF GROUPS OFFER POWER
TO MEMBERS N AT LEAST TWO WAYS .FIRST
,THERE ARE SAYINGS SUCH AS”UNITED WE
STAND,DIVIDED WE FALL”AND’THERE IS
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS”. THESE ARE DRIVING
FORCES BEHIND UNIONISATION IN
ORGANISATION.WORKERSENJOY MUCH GREATER
POWER COLLECTIVELY
THAN THEY DO AS INDIVIDUAS .EVEN
BELONGING TO AN INFORMAL GROUP GIVES THE
INDIVIDUAL A SENSE THAT HIS GROUP WILL NOT
LET HIM /HER TO OVERCOME BY THE IMPERSNAL
BUREAUCRACY OF THE ORGANISATION.
• IDENTITY: GROUP MEMBERSHIP
CONTRIBUTEES TO THE INDIVIDUALS
EXTERNAL QUEST FOR AN ANSWER TO
THE QUESTION. ”WHO AM I “.IT IS
COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT WE TRY
TO UNDERSTAND OURSELVES THROUGH
THEBEHAVIOUR OF OTHERS PRAISE
YS,WE FEEL WE ARE GREAT, IF
OTHERS ENJOY OUR JOKES,WE SEE
OURSELVES AS FUNNY PERSONS AND SO
ON .GROUPS PROVIDES
SEVERAL”OTHERS”WHO WILL
LAUGH,PRAISE OR ADMIRE US.
• HUDDLING:ONE MORE REASON WHY
PEOPLE JOIN GROUPS IS FOR
HUDDLING .BECAUSE OF THE WAY
BUREAUCRACIES WORK ,
INDIVIDUALS,PARTICULARLYEXECUTIVES
,MAKE USE OF INFORMAL GET-
TOGETHERS CALLED HUDDLES. THESE
ARE INTIMATE TASK –ORIENTED
ENCOUNTERS OF EXECUTIVES TRYING
TO GET SOMETHING DONE.
