    Groups can be formal or informal and are classified into task groups, command groups, interest groups, and friendship groups. People join groups for security, status, self-esteem, affiliation, power, and goal achievement. Groups go through forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning stages of development. Roles, norms, status, and social loafing impact group behavior and decision making. High cohesiveness generally leads to better goal achievement and satisfaction while low cohesiveness can hinder a group's performance.
