Topic: Group process

	Group process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In organizational development (OD), the phrase group process refers to the behavior of people in groups, such as task groups that are trying to solve a problem or make a decision.
		An individual with expertise in group process, such as a trained facilitator, can assist a group toward accomplishing its objective by diagnosing how well the group is functioning as a problem solving or decision making entity and subsequently intervening to alter the group's operating behavior.
		Even in such cases, an individual with expertise in group process can be helpful in the role of facilitator.

	Gestalt Group Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		From this perspective, the group is regarded not just as a collection of individuals, but as a potent psychosocial environment which profoundly affects the feelings, attitudes and behaviours of the individuals in that system, and conversely, is profoundly affected by the feelings, attitudes and behaviours of the individual in that system.
		Group tasks are placed on a continuum that has learning (in the sense of cognitive/perceptual change) at one end and psychological change (in the sense of altered coping capacity, personality structure, or response repertoire) at the other end.
		Some examples of system processes are the beliefs and assumptions that people hold, the way they go about accomplishing their tasks and making decisions, the roles they play, and the informal and formal rules and norms that operate in the relationship.

	GROUP PROCESS
		Groups of individuals gathered together to achieve a goal or objective, either as a committee or some other grouping, go through several predicatable stages before useful work can be done.
		Any individual in a ledership position whose responsibilities involve getting groups of individuals to work together should both be conversant with the phases of the group process and possess the skills necessaryy to capitalize on these stages to accomplish the objective of forming a productive, cohesive team.
		Group members exhibit behavior to test what behavior is acceptable and what is taboo, and begin to establish boundaries, to consider themselves as individuals vis-a-vis the group, and to define the function of the group and the leader.

		Group task roles focus on the task at hand and include, for example, roles such as the "elaborator," the "coordinator," and the "orienter." Group maintenance roles focus on keeping the group together and include roles such as the "encourager," the "harmonizer," and the "compromiser." Both task and maintenance roles help the group pursue its goals.
		As the groups worked, observers behind one-way mirrors classified every communicative act according to three criteria: who said it, to whom it was said (for example, to an individual member or to the group as a whole), and the act's function.
		He believes that a scientist who wishes to claim that group process really affects group output must show that the effects of group process are independent of the effects of input variables.

	Group Process
		At a first century formal dinner party, after the group had eaten they passed around a cup of wine; that signified that the dinner portion of the meal was over and it was now time to move into a period of philosophical and moral discussion on the issues of the day.
		That is the basis for three discernment groups led by the Rev. John Lewis, assistant rector at St. Mark's, San Antonio, and director of The Center for Faith in the Workplace, a ministry of St. Mark's.
		The groups generally meet weekly, and in essence function much like a Quaker "conscience committee." The groups are a sounding board for situations encountered in the workplace, at home, or in other every-day settings.
