In this blog, we will discuss individuals, groups, and teams in the organization.

We will highlight the role and within the organization the functioning of groups which factor affecting the behavior. So we will discuss individuals, groups, and teams in the organization.

Individuals

Individuals are an essential part of any organization. If you understand the behavior of individuals, then you can predict the consequences. So it will easy to manage the behaviors of individuals as per directions.

Organizations have to look at three individual variables biographical characteristics, ability, and learning

So biographical characteristics are available in the individual’s personal file. The most important factor is the age of the individuals, but there is no relationship between age and productivity because the older workers and who have longer tenure with the organization are less likely to resign. Although married employees have less absenteeism and higher job satisfaction than unmarried employees.

What is the benefit of this information? and the answer is that it can help organizations during recruitment to making choices among job applicants.

The ability of the employee’s direct effect on performance and satisfaction through the ability job fit.

Learning is an important part of the job because the degree of the applicant is not enough for the job and how he or she is a good learner. If he is a good learner, then the best choice for the job otherwise he needs to development

There are two common types of groups which is most acceptable in organizations.

  1. Formal Groups
  2. Informal Groups

Formal groups are defined as the organizational structure and organizations make the groups for different activities that perform different activities as per the organization plan.

These groups do activities under a formal structure, deciding their goals and strategies to achieve the same.

They work under the supervision of their supervisors and they report to their supervisors.

Group members interact with each other to achieve the common goals of the organization.

A formal group includes those whose job is more or less similar in the organization.

Call-Centre is one example of a group because its employees are handling the same customers.

The Board of Directors is a formal group because they provide specialized services to the organization.

Informal Groups

Employees of the organization form the informal groups within a formal organizational structure.

The members of the group meet with each other and satisfy their social or affiliation needs sharing their commons interests.

So these groups work without the support of the organization because they are formed to the individual’s satisfaction.

So in an informal group, functional closeness basically determines the formation of the group.

The people who include in the informal group, they have the same attitude, personality, and belong to the same status as could form the informal group.

The informal group exists without any rules & regulations and outside of the formal authority system.

Although it is not recognized, it exists in the system and does the work for the members of the group.

So informal groups have their own leaders and followers who trusted the group leader.

They have no rules in writing form but they have unwritten rules & regulations, so every member follows the rules.

So they select the leader of the group through the election and elected member work for the group.

Even every member who working as long for the group, he emerges a leader.
