Group Cohesiveness Theory

Group Cohesiveness Theory explains how and why members of a group develop strong bonds, attraction, and a sense of unity. When members feel connected, supported, and valued, they are more likely to work well together, communicate effectively, and stay committed. High cohesiveness can enhance group performance and satisfaction, while low cohesiveness might lead to disengagement or conflict. Factors influencing cohesion include shared goals, group size, interpersonal relationships, and group identity. Ultimately, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support strengthens a group’s cohesion, leading to better cooperation and achievement of common objectives.
