Question

Five employees in a project meeting whose individual efforts result in performance that is greater than the sum of the individual inputs is​ a(n) ________, although five employees interacting primarily to share information and help each individual perform within his or her own area of responsibility is a​ ________.

Answer 1

The answers are:

1. Work team
2. Work group

Step-by-step explanation:

In a business environment:

Work team refers to a group of employees that work together in a semi autonomous manner whose total performance is greater than the sum of their individual inputs.

Work group refers to a group of employees that work together on a particular unit of an organization that share information between them and help each other with their own individual performance.

The difference between work team and work group is that in a work team the total output increases by its members collaboration and joint work effort.
