Analysis of Group Development Theories
Abstract:
The structure of a group helps the management predict to individual behavior within the group and the performance of the group itself. All the variables that can affect the functioning of groups are formal leadership, roles, norms, group status, group size and the composition of the group. The style or behavior of the group leader tends to be imitated or repeated by the group members. As everyone is required to play a diverse set of roles within and outside an organization, one of the tasks in understanding behavior is grasping the role that is currently being played by a person.
Group development research has proposed various models to explain how new groups form, work together, and disband. These models fall into two categories: Five stages model, often exemplified by Tuckman, (1965); and the punctuated equilibrium model of Gersick (1988). In this paper it will be analyzed which model is more applicable or otherwise there are some conditions, that requires a development of an integrated model of group development that can combine these two types of models into one model or not.
Introduction
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. It does this by taking a system approach. Organizational behavior encompasses a wide range of topics, such as human behavior, change, leadership, teams, etc. The organization's base rests on management's philosophy, values, vision and goals.
A social system is a complex set of human relationships interacting in many ways. Within an organization, the social system includes all the people in it and their relationships to each other and to the outside world. The behavior of one member can have an impact, either directly or indirectly, on the behavior of others.[1]
Today, most organizations embrace the notion of groups. Groups have become the core unit in many organizations. Most of us are
