WHY DO PEOPLE WORK IN GROUPS ?
1.Security--By joining a group, individuals can reduce the insecurity of “standing
alone.” People feel stronger, have fewer self-doubts, and are more
resistant to threats when they are part of a group.
2.Status--Inclusion in a group that is viewed as important by others provides
recognition and status for its members.
3.Self-Esteem--Groups can provide people with feelings of self-worth. That is, in addition
to conveying status to those outside the group, membership can also
give increased feelings of worth to the group members themselves.
4.Power--What cannot be achieved individually often becomes possible through
group action. There is power in numbers.
5.Goal Achievement--There are times when it takes more than one person to accomplish a
particular task; there is a need to pool talents, knowledge, or power in
order to complete a job.
