    Group productivity is important for business success and involves harnessing team efforts to multiply individual contributions. Johnson and Johnson identified five key elements for effective group productivity: 1) positive interdependence through shared goals, resources, rewards and roles; 2) face-to-face interaction; 3) individual and group accountability; 4) developing interpersonal skills; and 5) regular group processing and feedback. Additionally, assigning meaningful tasks can boost cooperation and productivity. However, the Ringelmann effect finds that individual effort can decrease as group size increases due to reduced sense of accountability.

    What is Group Productivity

    Group productivity is a successful element to any


    person's business. This essentially means
    harnessing the power of teams to multiply the
    individual efforts of the people who are serving
    with the organization. (Rasing, 2010)
    Inspiration and influence are the best tools to help
    achieve group productivity. It motivates the entire
    team and makes them to achieve the objective of
    the company. In other words we can say that it
    increases the cooperation among workers and
    make them more competent to achieve the goal of
    their company.


    Johnson and Johnson's five
    elements in Group Productivity
    1. POSITIVE INTERDEPENDENCE
    Johnson and Johnson (1994) observed that
    interdependence may be accomplished in the
    following four ways:
    Goals
    Resources
    Rewards
    Roles

    2. Face-to-Face Interaction
    To consolidate and build new understanding, groups
    need to have considerable face-to-face interaction.
    Importantly, these interactions should be designed to
    encourage the exchange of ideas and not just to work
    out the logistics of completing the assignment.

    3. Individual and Group Accountability
    The key to this accountability system is that the
    members of the group are aware that each individual
    will receive a grade and that each is a participant in the
    evaluation process. Each group member may provide
    feedback on his or her own performance and the work
    of others. Johnson and Johnson (1994) also suggest
    that a group "checker" be identified to ask each
    member to explain the group's work or responses.

    4. Interpersonal and Small-Group Skills
    Group work should promote frequent use of interpersonal
    and small-group skills. These are some of the applied skills
    held in such high regard by employers, and they include
    the ability to resolve conflicts in a constructive manner, to
    communicate effectively, and to ably draw upon the
    strengths of others to solve problems. Although they are
    young, students in classrooms that feature productive
    group work are learning each day how to organize and
    coordinate efforts and are acquiring a results-oriented
    outlook that will serve them well through years to come.

    5. Group Processing

    Although it's the most easily overlooked of all the
    elements of cooperative learning, frequent and regular
    group processing is the key to a group's future
    effectiveness. Teachers often forget to include this step
    in their group work design.
    Providing a Meaningful Task

    To Johnson and Johnson's five principles of cooperative
    learning, we would like to add a sixth: a meaningful
    task. A task for productive group work must offer a
    challenge or a problem to solve to make all of those
    principles of cooperative learning come into play. A
    spirit of cooperation can bloom when a group is
    collectively faced with a difficult job to do.

    The Ringelmann effect
    is the tendency for individual members of a group
    to become increasingly less productive as the size
    of their group increases.
    [1
    This effect, discovered by
    French agricultural engineer Maximilien
    Ringelmann (18611931).
    Furthermore, Ringelmann discovered that as more and
    more people are added to a group, the group often becomes
    increasingly inefficient, ultimately violating the notion that
    group effort and team participation reliably leads to
    increased effort on behalf of the members.
