Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.8K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Impact of Individuals on a Group

In social psychology, the interplay between individuals and groups is a central concern, particularly regarding how individual actions and characteristics influence group processes and outcomes. While much research emphasizes the group's power in shaping individual behavior, it is equally significant to understand how individuals contribute to the functioning, development, and success of groups.Individual Roles in Group Productivity and Decision-MakingIndividuals are not passive participants in...

In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...

Robbers Cave

14.9K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Organizational Behavior
  • Project Management

Background:

  • Team effectiveness research predominantly focuses on the corporate sector, neglecting non-governmental organization (NGO) project teams.
  • Incorporating team context into NGO project effectiveness research and practice presents ongoing challenges.
  • A significant gap exists in understanding the specific determinants of team effectiveness within NGO projects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the identified research gap by identifying critical determinants of team effectiveness in NGO projects.
  • To provide a framework for understanding and enhancing team effectiveness in the non-governmental sector.
  • To highlight factors crucial for successful project outcomes in NGOs.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic process involving literature review and focus group discussions to generate research items.
  • Quantitative data collection from 157 respondents (Team Members and Team Leaders) using questionnaires.
  • Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to establish validity.

Main Results:

  • Team effectiveness in NGO social projects is determined by seven key dimensions.
  • The identified dimensions include: Inter-team coordination, community social linkage, team performance, knowledge/skills/attitudes, leadership communication/engagement, decision-making/information sharing, and team formation.
  • Convergent and discriminant validity were established through rigorous statistical analysis.

Conclusions:

  • This study establishes a comprehensive model for team effectiveness specifically tailored for NGO projects.
  • The identified determinants provide NGOs with actionable insights to assess and improve their team's performance.
  • Findings emphasize the need for targeted research and practical interventions to bolster team effectiveness in the non-governmental sector.
