    Types of Groups
    Formal Groups
    are established by an organization to achieve its
    goals.

    Informal Groups
    can have a strong influence in organizations
    that can either be positive or negative.
    Formal Groups
    1. Command Groups

    are specified by the organizational chart and often


    consist of a supervisor and the subordinates that
    report to that supervisor.
    2. Task Groups
    consist of people who work together to achieve a common
    task. Members are brought together to accomplish a
    narrow range of goals within specified time period.
    3. Functional Groups

    is created by the organization to accomplish specific


    goals within an unspecified time frame.

    Functional groups remain in existence after achievement


    of current goals and objectives.
    Informal Groups
    1. Interest Group
    usually continue over time and may last longer than
    general Informal groups. Members of interest groups
    may not be part of the same organizational department
    but they are bound together.
    2. Friendship Groups
    are formed by members who enjoy similar social activities
    Political beliefs, religious values, or other common bonds.

    Members enjoy each other’s company and often meet after


    work to participate in these activities.
    3. Reference Groups
    is a type of group that people use to evaluate themselves.
    The main objectives of reference groups are to seek social
    validation and social comparison. Social validation allows
    individuals to justify their attitudes and values while
    social comparison helps individuals evaluate their own
    actions by comparing themselves to others. Reference
    groups have a strong influence on members’ behavior.
    Such groups are formed voluntarily. Family, friends and
    religious affiliations are strong reference groups for most
    individuals.
