BTEC L3 Group Dynamics

For a group to become a team, what must they do?

• Go through the four Stages of Development

• Establish Social Cohesion

• Establish Task Cohesion

• Have the highest potential productivity

True or False: all groups progress through all stages, but the time they spend in each stage and the order they go through will vary?

• True

• False

True or False = teams can regress back to previous stages

• True

• False

If key members of the team leave, what stage are they likely to regress to?

• Norming - because of increased cooperation

• Forming - they will need to familiarise themselves again

• Storming - due to competing for new position in team

At what stage, do players work towards common goals rather than focus on individual agendas?

• Forming

• Norming

• Storming

• Performing

At what stage, are the group of players able to make their own decisions and take responsibility for them?

• Forming

• Norming

• Storming

• Performing

What is the correct equation for Steiner's Model of Group Productivity?

• Actual productivity = potential productivity - losses due to faulty processes

• Potential productivity = actual productivity - losses due to faulty processes

• Actual productivity = potential productivity x losses due to faulty processes

• Potential productivity = actual productivity + losses due to faulty processes

Motivational faults/losses occur:

• When players do not connect with their play

• When the team interacts poorly

• When the team uses ineffective strategies

• When some players of the team do not give 100% effort

Coordination faults/losses occur (choose three correct answers):

• When players do not connect with their play

• When the team interacts poorly

• When the team uses ineffective strategies

• When some players of the team do not give 100% effort

The phenomenon where as the group size increases, the individual productivity of the people in the group decreases, is known as...

• Social Loafing

• Ringelmann Effect

• Motivational faults

• Coordination losses
