COHESIVENESS

11. COHESIVENESS
• Determinates of cohesiveness: can be altered to change cohesiveness levels in a
group.
• Group Size: small groups allow high cohesiveness.
Low cohesiveness groups with many members can benefit from splitting into two
groups.
• Managed Diversity: Diverse groups often come up with better solutions.
• Group Identity: When cohesiveness is low, encourage a group to adopt a unique
identity and engage in healthy competition with others.
• Success: cohesiveness increases with success.

12. GROUP COHESIVENESS
Group cohesiveness: measures the loyalty to the group by its members.
o Level of Participation: as cohesiveness rises, so will participation. Participation
helps get members actively involved, but too much can waste time.
o Level of Conformity: as conformity rises, so does cohesiveness.With too much
conformity, performance can suffer.
o Level of Group Goal Accomplishment: as cohesiveness rises, the emphasis on
group accomplishment will rise.
High levels of cohesiveness can cause the group to focus more on itself than the
firm.

13. MANAGING GROUPS AND TEAMS
FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE
• Social loafing
o The human tendency to put forth less effort in a group than individually.
o Results in possibly lower group performance and failure to attain group goals
