Group Dynamics

Nature of Groups:
In order to be called a group, an aggregation of person must satisfy the following conditions:

1. People must interact with one another
2. People must be psychologically aware of one another
3. People should perceive themselves to be a group

Thus, the interaction among the people is not sufficient to be called a group. They should be aware of one another and perceive the existence as group. Therefore, people sitting in a cinema hall and people waiting for a bus stop will not qualify as group. However, a family is treated as a group as it satisfies all the conditions to the large extent.

Any functional group with the common objective, aim shared values, purpose and mission qualifies as a TEAM.
