advantages 1.sharing of ideas 2.motivational – not wanting to let the team down. Shared targets and aims for the team to meet. 3.Employees needs – employees have social needs, go to work not just for the money but for human contact with workmates etc. Employees can therefore be happier in a team. 4. support eg more experienced members can help, mentor and develop the less experienced members. disadvantages 1. not all work is suited to working in a team – there are some one man tasks. 2. Teams can cause conflicts eg personality clashes between members. 3. The contribution of quieter members of the team can get crowded out by members with larger personalities. Some good ideas can get lost this way. 4. Team mentality. Workers start to identify just with their own team and this harms relationships between different teams and departments and harms communication in the organisation. Er… just a few ideas of the top of my head. Hope some help!
