RELEVÂNCIA DO TRABALHO EM EQUIPE

Abstract

The terms group and team differ, where a group is defined as two or more people who come together and seek to achieve a certain objective or goal and performance is just the sum of individual contributions in which there is no cooperation. Responsibility is individual and the abilities of each group member are random and varied. In the case of teams, they develop cooperation in which individual efforts generate a performance greater than the sum of individual contributions, since the objective is collective performance, responsibility is individual and mutual simultaneously, and skills are complementary. Thus, this research aimed to present the main differences between groups and work teams, aiming to explore the concepts and identify their relevance to the professional activity of administration. For that, an exploratory descriptive bibliographical and field research was adopted, with the application of a questionnaire with higher education academics in the municipality of Nova Andradina MS. It can be concluded that teamwork within organizations is a great tool for success as long as the manager is committed to managing them efficiently.
