在日常生活中,人们通常使用术语“组”和“团队”互换没有真正意识到这些术语都有特定的意义,不能互相取代。一方面是指一组相互作用的人数或相互影响,另一方面,一个团队是指一群人一起工作来实现一些常见的目标。换句话说,一个团队可能会被视为一组但一组不能被认为是一个团队。
不同类型的组织——小学、中学、正式或非正式的。此外,他们有一定的特性——大小(三个或三个以上的个体组成一组),影响(组的成员可以影响对方的行为,思想,信仰,等等)和最后一个目标取向。然而,如果我们分析一个团队,它没有任何分类等,但它的一些重要的特征是,一个团队的成员更密切相关(在长期的基础上)和彼此,在一起感到更负责他们作为一个团队的共同目标。此外,团队绩效取决于团队成员之间的协同作用,这种沟通他们以及团队成员之间的相互理解(Mannix,电子,2003年,页34)。
In day to day life people generally make use of the terms ‘group’ and ‘team’ interchangeably without really realizing that both these terms have specific meaning and cannot replace each other. On one hand a group refers to a number of people who interact with each other or influence each other and on the other hand, a team refers to a group of people who work together to achieve some common objectives. In other words, a team may be considered as a group but a group cannot be considered as a team.
Groups are of different types – Primary, secondary, formal or informal. Moreover, they have certain characteristics like – size (three or more individuals constitute a group), influence (members of a group have influence on each other’s actions, thoughts, beliefs, etc.) and last but not the least a goal orientation. However, if we analyze a team, it does not have any classification as such but some of its important characteristics are that members of a team are more closely associated (on a long term basis) with each other and together feel more responsible for the common objectives that as a team they have been assigned. Moreover, team performance depends on synergy among the team members, the kind of communication they have as well as mutual understanding between the team members (Mannix, E.A., 2003, pp 34).
