CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Background of the Study 

A company’s primary goal should be to advance. If a business wants to satisfy more customers and attract more investors, it needs to make structural and financial improvements as well as raise the bar on product quality. How well an organisation uses its potential resources determines how successful or unsuccessful it will be.

Being able to work well with others is a must-have talent in today’s workplace. Everyone in the company has a crucial role and ought to do their part to ensure the company’s success.

Teams consist of a group of people who work together to complete a common goal; these people are interdependent on one another and on the tasks at hand;

they are part of a larger social system, such as a company or business unit, and they are able to manage their relationships with one another across organisational boundaries (Sand Storms, Demese and Futrell 1990).

An evaluation of Teamwork as an Instrument for Organisational Growth is now underway. Some people have a reserved personality and struggle to fit in socially or work with others.

Members of a corporate organisation rely on one another to accomplish the overall goal. When employees are expected to work individually, it hinders both their productivity and the overall growth of the firm.

When planning an organization’s future, teamwork is essential. Everyone wants to know if teams actually help people and businesses succeed. When put in a team setting, why do some individuals struggle?

Participation absent

Nobody on the team ever gets their work done. There can be a lack of enthusiasm or participation at team meetings.

Office interactions are enhanced through teamwork.

Teamwork increases individual investment in the project at hand as well as interpersonal investment in team members. Members of the team are there for one another, both within and outside of the team structure, and they learn to work with one another’s unique approaches.

Problematically, some individuals still refuse to cooperate with others, despite the fact that there are so many benefits to doing so in the workplace.
