    Group dynamics involve the study of how people interact and communicate in small groups. There are two main types of groups - informal groups that form naturally through social interaction, and formal groups created by an organization to accomplish tasks. Groups go through several stages of development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Key aspects that impact group effectiveness include roles, norms, size, cohesiveness, and decision making processes.

    GROUP DYNAMICS

    DEFINITION OF GROUP
     A group is a collection of individuals who share a
    common set of norms, who generally have
    differentiated roles among themselves, and who
    interact with one another to jointly pursue
    common goals. (Steers 1984)
    DEFINITION…
    Group dynamics involve the study and analysis of
    how people interact and communicate with each
    other in face-to face small groups. The study of
    group dynamics provides a vehicle to analyse
    group communications with the intent of
    rendering the groups more effective.
