Meaning and Definitions of Group Dynamics


The term ‘group dynamics’ means the study of forces within a group.
Since human beings have an innate desire for belonging to a group,
group dynamism is bound to occur. In an organization or in a society,
we can see groups, small or large, working for the well-being.

The social process by which people interact with one another in small
groups can be called group dynamism. A group has certain common
objectives & goals. Because of which members are bound together with
certain values and culture.
Importance of Group Dynamism
1. Firstly, a group can influence the way the members think. The
members are always influenced by the interactions of other
members in the group. A group with a good leader performs
better as compared to a group with a weak leader.
2. The group can give the effect of synergy, that is, if the group
consists of positive thinkers then its output is more than double
every time.
3. Group dynamism can furthermore give job satisfaction to the
members.
4. The group can also infuse the team spirit among the members.
5. Even the attitude, insights & ideas of members depend on group
dynamism. For example, negative thinkers convert to positive
thinkers with the help of the facilitator.
6. Also, if the group works as a cohesive group, the cooperation
and convergence can result in maximization of productivity
7. Furthermore, group dynamism can reduce labor unrest. Lastly,
it reduces labor turnover due to emotional attachment among
the group members.
