Forming
Forming. The initial forming stage is the process of putting the
structure of the team together. Team members feel ambiguous and
conflict is avoided at all costs due to the need to be accepted into
the group.

Storming
This stage begins to occur as the process of organizing tasks and
processes surface interpersonal conflicts. Leadership, power, and
structural issues dominate this stage
Norming
The group begins to coalesce as individual differences are ironed out,
and team members can accept each other's qualities and appreciate
their teammates' strengths. In this stage, team members begin to show
comfort in asking for help and providing constructive feedback.

Performing
In the Performing stage, the group makes significant progress towards
its goals. Commitment to the group's mission is high and the
competence of group members is also high. Group members should
continue to deepen their knowledge and skills, including working to
continuously improving group development.

various differences in status, influence, role ability, and so on. The

structure.

Group Formation Process


The group formation process explains
why and how people come together to
form groups.
Understanding these reasons helps us
see what makes groups work well and
why people like being part of them.
We will look at five main theories.
Propinquity Theory
Proposed by: Festinger, Schachter,
and Back (1950s). These psychologists
studied the impact of physical
proximity on group formation.
Explanation: Propinquity Theory
suggests that people are more likely to
form groups with those who are
physically close to them.
Example: You are more likely to
befriend and form study groups with
classmates who sit nearby.
Social Exchange Theory
Proposed by: George Homans (1958s). An
American sociologist who studied
relationships and group formation based on
the benefits people receive.
Explanation: Social Exchange Theory says
that people join groups based on a cost-
benefit analysis, where the benefits
outweigh the costs.
Example: Joining a study group that
improves your grades and provides
enjoyable interactions.
Balance Theory
Proposed by: Fritz Heider (1946s). An
Austrian psychologist who studied how
people maintain balance in
relationships.
Explanation: Balance Theory states
that people prefer balanced and
consistent relationships and attitudes.
Example: Forming a group with people
who share similar likes, such as a
favorite movie, to maintain harmony.
Classic Theory

Proposed by: Various Scholars (1950s-1960s)


Explanation: Classic Theory emphasizes the
importance of norms (rules) and roles (specific tasks)
in group formation.
Example: A sports team with defined roles and rules
functions smoothly.
Social Identity Theory
Proposed by: Henri Tajfel (1970s).
A British social psychologist who
studied group identity and
behavior.
Explanation: Social Identity
Theory explains that people form
groups to boost their self-esteem
and sense of belonging.
Example: Identifying with and
favoring one's department in
an office setting.
