Question

Laura mentions that employees will come back from tea break on time because they know it will let down their fellow work mates if they don't. What consideration in building a group into an effective team does this example most closely embody

Answer 1

Answer:

Cooperation and trust

Explanation:

There are clear distinctions between groups and teams. A group is a set of people brought together by common interests and inevitable circumstances, while a team is a group of people working together to reach a common goal.

The responsibility in a team is evenly dispersed; although the work is not done individually, the team is acting as an individual. That means that trust has to be present among team members; we have to know we won't be let down by a team member, like we don't let down ourselves.

Trust is one of the most essential inputs for effective cooperation.  

A team possessing such characteristics is highly cohesive.
