    Ways To Avoid Social Loafing

    Sometimes when we work together as a team, things just seem to click because we can reach our
    goals and come up with creative plans together. But I beg to differ where there are times when we are
    on just fizzles. This is when members don’t get their work done that has resulted to the team’s goal
    does not reach or succeed. We frequently hear people debating about how to improve teamwork, and
    one of the best ways is to eliminate social loafing. To help you deal with this issue, we provide you
    some ways that can be used to stay engaged and on track so that you will have less social loafing on
    your team projects.

    1. create clear assignment

    by clearly outlining straightforward goals, objective and duty to manage the workflow more effectively
    within a team will definitely help the goals to be reachable. When we gave task within a team instead
    of relying on the group to self-regulate, we obviously can sense the accountability in each team
    member. Thus, it provides more guidance and motivates the team members to take and be
    responsibility for their duties. We should never start a project without having a clear objective because
    everyone has a need for clarity. So, leader is responsible to explain and walk the talk afterwards
    effectively for the group members to attain the goals that has been set together.

    2. increase supervision

    when we provide more supervision to the group, it can courage the team members to maintain their
    productivity and effort when working in a group setting as we keep reminding each other of
    performance expectation, tracking progress and checking in about their contributions to ensure that
    everyone is on the same path and does not deviate from the original assigned work. Hence, it is
    important to monitor both the overall group output and individual input so that everyone are
    contributes fairly and can carry out a higher quality work before submitting it.

    3. divide into subgroups

    when the number of group bigger, people most likely to assume other members to do the job. Thus, it
    is better to keep it small as they know there is no extra help around to contribute more. Each
    subgroup can work in specific task where feelings of obligation and commitment among members can
    be attain. As a result, the impact of their contributions within a group will give the team members
    motivation and provide more effort for the group.

    4. provide individual recognition

    If we honestly acknowledge all team members contributions and enhancing the visibility of the work
    that they did, they will definitely feel more motivated and productive to strive for personal excellent
    and be more confident to express their opinion openly since they know the team members are there
    to support them. We cannot deny the fact that by giving people a voice, in time they will feel more
    connected to the task. So, we must make sure everyone aware that individual actions can create
    overall appreciation for each person’s actions.
