Group Work or Team Work
Working with team can be advantages. It will advance the knowledge of using the strengths of individual members. By working with team, we can get more information and knowledge and focusing the issue and then a greater number and diversity of alternatives can be developed, better understanding and acceptance of the final decision, members develop knowledge and skills for future use, shared responsibility and willing to take more risks. Work in a team also has small disadvantages, usually hard to see them in everyday work.There are the increase of conflicts, time consuming, disagreements may delay decisions and cause hard feelings and less participation of some team member which will affect delay in the decision. Disagreement of members and many ideas are going to forget the target and the purpose of the project. Manager can improve the effectiveness of group work within there organisation by leading through the participation style and following the five strategy plans as below:
* Developing a customer focus and making customer satisfaction their top priority. All teams exist for an external reason: Their outputs will be used by someone else. By focusing on the customer -- whether internal or external -- the team makes sure that it retains its added value.
* Becoming aligned around a common vision and mission, and developing a clear understanding of roles and operating guidelines. The team needs to understand not only the organisation's mission but also how it links to that mission. The team needs to have a good understanding of the roles of individual members within the team as well as its role with the organisation.
* Building skills for working together to make decisions, plan work, resolve differences and conduct meetings. Teamwork needs to be developed. The members learn to become interdependent by building trust. They develop a sense of "we" so that they accept joint responsibility.
* Becoming empowered to improve the work to achieve the needed results. The first three areas of effectiveness are really precursors that need to be in place before the empowerment journey can begin. The empowerment is neither abdication nor anarchy; the parameters need to be set. Then the critical empowerment needed for the team's success must be determined. When empowerment comes upon the teams too quickly. This not only frustrates the teams but also created failures. The key is to start with fewer critical empowerment and let the team become skillful at those before taking on more.
* Setting goals and solving problems for continuous improvement. The team must consciously strive to improve itself and its processes, outputs and inputs. This means equipping itself with appropriate tools and methodologies and dedicating time to use them. Continuous improvement is a responsibility of the self-directed work team.
Recommendation Organisation behavior has many advantages in a working environment. The first task was to define organisation culture. Many organisation will have approached culture elements in there organisation, and the behavior in using this elements does have a lot of impact of the success of a business organisation and a successful working environment and people working in these environment. After completing this project, It is recommended by following the structure and culture elements of the organisation and to learn the important of leadership and leadership style. And how organisation can motivate worker. Manager learning to improve the effectiveness of group team work. Without these elements organisation will struggle to battle with the business environment.

It is also good to have a relationship with the environment we work in.
