Introduction
The process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve
a goal is called teamwork. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often
necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance.
Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and
providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. Team
can expand the outputs of individuals through collaboration. Employees who are working
in teams become the standard for the organization (Alie, Beam & Carey, 1998). Recent
study shows that employee working within the team can produce more output as
compared to individual (Jones, Richard, Paul, Sloane & Peter, 2007). The effects of
teamwork on organization is that they can increased efficiency, the ability to focus
different minds on the same problem, and mutual support. When a team works well
together as a unit they are able to accomplish more than the individual members can do
alone. Teamwork creates higher quality outcomes that are more efficient, thoughtful, and
effective, as well as faster. Individuals benefit from teamwork through mutual support
and a great sense of accomplishment.The formation of teams is most appropriate for tasks
that are difficult, complex, and important. These types of tasks are often beyond the skills
and abilities of any single individual. However, the formation of a team to complete such
tasks does not guarantee success. Rather, the proper implementation of teams is
positively related to both member satisfaction and increased effectiveness. Organizations
who want to receive the benefits afforded by teams need to carefully consider how teams
are built and implemented. Often, teams are created without providing members any
training to develop the skills necessary to perform well in a team setting. This is critical,
because teamwork can be cognitively and interpersonally demanding. Even when a team
consists of talented individuals, these individuals must learn to coordinate their actions
and develop functional interpersonal interactions. So teams are more likely to be
successful when they are fully supported by the organization.
Literature Review
Teamwork is basically a critical part of a business, as it is often necessary for
members to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance using their
individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict
between individuals. Our reasoning for choosing this topics is that we can determine the
effect of teamwork on employee performance. This research can be measure the
positively or negatively effect of teamwork as well as the communication and
commitment in organization. It is very important to have a teamwork that can perform
successfully all tasks. When the teams can better perform their tasks, the individual
performance also increases which resulted the increases in the performance or
productivity outcomes of the organization. So we can carrying out a critical examination
of this literature examining the links between team working and performance or
productivity. According to Jones et al (2007) team’s enables people to cooperate, enhance
individual skills and provide constructive feedback without any conflict between
individuals. Teamwork is an important factor for smooth functioning of an organization.
Most of the organizational activities become complex due to advancement in technology
therefore teamwork is a major focus of many organizations. Organizations which
emphasize more on teams have results in increased employee performance, greater
productivity and better problem solving at work (Cohen & Bailey 1999). Bacon and
Blyton (2006) research concluded that there are two important factors in teamwork I.e.
self-management team and interpersonal team skills. These factors enhance the
communication as well as interpersonal relationship between team members and also
boost the employee performances. According to Ingram (2000) teamwork is a strategy
that has a potential improve the performance of individuals and organizations, but it
needs to be nurtured over time. Organizations need to look at strategies for improving
performance in the light of increasingly competitive environments. Top managers need to
have the vision to introduce teamwork activities within the organizations, the sensitivity
to nourish it and the courage to permit teams to play an important part in decision
making. Conti and Kleiner (2003) reported that teams will create a high performance
organization that is flexible, efficient and most importantly, profitable. Hamilton et al.
(2006) found that teams typically outperform individuals when tasks require multiple
skills, judgement, and experience. Teams are better way to utilize individual employee
talents because they can perform the task in which they are specialized. According to our
group that teamwork can improve by identifying the common goals that brings us
together as a unit. Develop a support system that provides clear, concise direction and
also offer reward based on the team performance. To make sure that everyone on the
team has a chance to participate. Each member should have a voice. Members of the team
make a high quality decisions together and have the support and commitment of the
group to carry out the decisions made.

Conclusion
The research found that teamwork has a significant positive effect on
organizational performance. Teamwork boost productivity by combining individual and
group efforts. Allowing team members to contribute their specialized education and
training to a project or work assignment, increasing the range of work the team may do as
well as the number of tasks performed without further study.
