► Deepak, Mohsin, Kiara and Kashyap have recently joined Infinity Infotech. In the first few days of Induction they are all made to form a group which will work on a project given by the management. Initially it went good for some time but after fifteen days rift could be seen between the group members. The management gave them a timeline for the completion of the project. They appointed Kiara as their leader and followed the norms set by the group. Within the given time frame by the management they completed the project and got appreciated for the same. After the completion of this project these four group members were again assigned a new group, a. Explain the process for formation of a group in Infinity Infotech. (5 Marks) b List down all the theories of group formation (all the theories need not to be discussed), Discuss the theory which you will the most apt in case of Infinity Infotech

Answer:
a. The formation of groups makes it easier and more efficient to complete tough jobs. It allows many people working in a group to share a wide range of knowledge and experiences, which aids in the formulation of better strategies.
b. Propinquity Theory and Similarity (or) Balance Theory
Explanation:
a. The term "formation of the group" simply refers to when two or more people come together to work toward the same aims and objectives. The formation of groups makes it easier and more efficient to complete tough jobs. It allows many people working in a group to share a wide range of knowledge and experiences, which aids in the formulation of better strategies.
b.
- Propinquity Theory: Propinquity is the most basic explanation for explaining affiliation. This fascinating term simply indicates that people associate with one another due to their proximity in space or time. Employees who work in the same part of the factory or office, or supervisors with offices near each other, are more likely to establish groups in an organisation than those who are not physically placed together. The propinquity idea has some studies backing it up, and on the surface, it appears to have a lot of worth in explaining group formation. The disadvantage of this hypothesis is that it is non-analytical and fails to explain some of the complexities of group formation. More theoretical and practical causes must be investigated.
- Similarity (or) Balance Theory: Individual (A) will interact with individual (B) and develop a relationship/group as a result of shared attitudes and ideals (C). Once this bond is established, the individuals attempt to maintain a symmetrical balance between attraction and shared attitudes. If there is an imbalance, an attempt is made to restore it. The connection will end if the equilibrium cannot be restored.
