Individual Vs Group Behavior

In this topic we will look at individuals, groups, and team in organizations. We will explore ther role and functioning of groups within organizations and factor effecting the behavior.

Individual
individual are important units of any organization. If we understand the behavior of individuals, we can predict the outcomes, it will become easy to manage the behaviors of individuals in desirable directions.
We have to look at three individual variables biographical characteristics, ability, and learning. The most important conclusions are that, age seems to have no relationship to productivity, older workers and those with longer tenure are less likely to resign, and married employees have fewer absences, less turnover, and report higher job satisfaction than do unmarried employees.But what value can this information have for managers? the obvious answer is that it can help in making choices among job applicants.

Groups
A group is defined as two or more interacting and interdependent individuals who come together to achieve particular objectives.

Types of Groups
Formal Groups
Formal groups are wok groups established by the organization and have designated work assignments and established tasks. The behaviors in which one should engage are stipulated by and directed toward organizatoinal goals.

infromal groups are of a social nature and are formations. they tend to form around friendships and common interests.
