A group can be defined as an association of two more individuals who interact and work independently to achieve particular objective. Groups can be further divided into two categories, formal and informal groups. Formal groups being those groups that are formed by an organization, whereas informal groups are those that are formed by people based on their common interests on some other motives. In the recent years, group management has become very important topics as more and more organizations are moving towards group work philosophy. In this philosophy, organizations divide most of their work in groups which work at its own accord to meet out the objective set out by the organization.
Since, group composition is an independent factor and organizations chose groups randomly, often there are conflicts among these groups. Many management groups have cited that these conflicts occur because people working in these groups have different motives, personalities, perceptions and motivations. This theory has been promulgated from the fact that no two people are alike and every human mind is different from other. In this essay, we are going to examine this claim by looking at how different personalities, perception and motivations can affect group working.
[...] (Drucker, 1993) In the end, we can safely conclude that perception, personality and motivation do affect the group behavior of individuals. All of these factors lead a group to act in certain and if these factors are ignored by a manager or a head of the group, then he can face some adverse consequences.
