Hi guys,

Today in the business area team work plays vital role and that is the topic most been discussed. Simply the organizations won't perform but the people. When it comes to people there should be a team individuals can't perform whatever they want in an organization they have to form a team and perform individually as well as teams. So when forming a team, organizational behavior influence's toward its success.

Organizational behavior integrates individual process, group process and organizational processes and further these are intergraded to psychology, social science, sociology and other facts. So a team in an organization reacts with all these factors that are why success of an organization always rely on teams. As a result of these we can see teams are formed in organizations to solve management problems as well as to be successful organizations in foreseeable future.

Teams always recognize itself as a useful machine in achieving organizations goals. This is because of its characteristics which influence the performance of the organization. We can see in a team there will be different members involving in working toward its goals. Here we can see different skilled people as well as different individual behaviors. Team work gives a synergy mixing of these people.

Likewise its unique characters outperform the individuals in an organization. Further it is factor to motivate employees through the team work this will ultimately result in high productivity. It optimizes the employee's talents and resources through synergy.

When it comes to decision making teams plays vital role since the team members has to participate in the decision making processes. This gives preference to the skilled members and a chance for the employees to optimize their skills and result in effective decision.

Further most of the companies today are project based so there project is divided based on teams rather than individuals. This helps the projects to outperform in the market especially we can see this in the IT companies. So this gives evidence toward an effective team performance.

In organizations today problems are solved and the ideas are generated through brainstorming. This is also a version of team which gives an efficient solution. Another team process is quality circles where there will be a team to check the quality of the products or the process. Organizations use this technique because of the effectiveness of the team work.

In point forms team is important in OB literature because it gives the following advantages as well as a direct link in determining OB.

•Effective communication

•Coordination

•Motivation

•Synergy

•Goal congruence

•Clearly defines responsibility

•Flexibility

•Clearly defines roles

This will result in progressive management for the foreseeable future.

Hence finally the above mentioned fact of a team gives clear evidence that it is a corner stone to the progressive management for the foreseeable future.

Totally agree

Waiting for others
