Group Behavior

A group exists when two or more people define themselves as member of it and when its existence is recognized by at least one other. (Rupert Brown 1988). The group is a collection of individuals they accept the common task and their interdependent in their performance to promote its accomplishment through interaction with one another. On the other hands group behavior originate from the grounds that contribute to the group’s efficiency. Other groups interconnect with groups function they expand their own exclusive set of uniqueness they also develop group structure in which they have cohesiveness, role, norms and process. Group may participate with other groups when groups are work together, and inter group competition which is also built the conflict. Group behavior has been a subject of considerable study in mid 20th century (Alford, 1994; Brown, 2001; Hogg, 2000). We describe the group development we found that group dynamics consists of a set of technique which is related to the internal nature of the group. Significant goals and developing events early in the group’s life is very helpful. Group size should be in-between 5 to 7 members that are the best elements of both small and large groups. Stages of groups development is Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing.

Forming is the first stage when we try to build the group, which is characterizing by a lot improbability. Initial objective is often just to get aware, the group new members habitually are polite, nice and reserved. The group members naturally remain their true emotion personal.

Group behavior more successful when they posses clear and strong norms which is regulate the behavior and make sure that coordination should be implemented. It is most important that these corms encourage group members to act proactively and learn from their experiences.
