Social loafing is used to describes the tendency of individuals to put forth less effort when they are part of a group
Social loafing is a situation where people tend to be more productive working independently than working in groups. They tend to fail in tasks while working with others and do much better with greater output when working independently. During group meeting, they contribute less in terms of ideas, skills and exhibit less effort than others. Social loafing affects the progress of a group and could split them thereby hindering them from achieving their goals and objectives. The motivation that keeps the group focused will no longer be there because one or more members are not willing to show interest towards achieving the goal. One major factor that promotes social loafing is lack of motivation. Motivation is a key component needed to work productively in a team. Without motivation, one member in a group can ruin the efforts of others towards achieving their objectives. They could remain stagnant for a long time without achieving their purpose and this could lead to poor work output and low productivity.
