Group And Work Group Behavior- A Manager’s View

Abstract

The study of group behavior has a long tradition among social scientists in various disciplines. It does not confine itself to any one of the recognized social science alone. The management field has been among those very interested in studying group behavior, particularly in some countries where people even in the work setting have displayed strong groups tendencies of smooth interpersonal relationship. Managers have become aware of the need to understand how to the relationships between group members and between management and the group influence work behavior.
