INTRODUCTION ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP:
The internship period from December-February was a wonderful learning experience
As a HR intern at such a big organization I was able to learn a lot about different functions in HR. It was a very different experience, as it was my 1st experience in the corporate world. Meeting such highly knowledgeable people was extremely memorable one.
As a part of the internship, I prepared my report on A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE GROUP DYNAMICS with Reference to The ITC limited, India Tobacco Division, and Bangalore.
TOPIC CHOSEN FOR THE STUDY:-
The topic chose to undertake was “A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE GROUP DYNAMICS AT ITC, LIMITED INDIA TOBACCO DIVISION”
NEED FOR THE STUDY:-
Group dynamics is one of the

The tendency to join with others in groups is perhaps the most important single characteristics of humans and these groups leave an indelible imprint on their members and on society. To understand people, we must understand their groups.
The lone individual – the single man or woman who has no connection to other men and women – is an extraordinary rare human being. Homo sapiens are capable of surviving alone, and the recluse, ascetic and prisoner in solitary confinement can forge a life on their own. But few humans seek or enjoy the challenges of solitude. Most people prefer to live in groups.
Virtually all the activities of our lives – working, learning, worshipping, relaxing, playing and even sleeping – occur in groups rather than isolated from others.
Most people belong to many different groups, so the number of groups in the world probably reaches well beyond six billion. The world is literally teeming with

It allows gathering relevant studies and extracting data from them in a systematic manner. Systematic literature review provides the best method to collect existing knowledge and guarantees that we would not miss any relevant article, if we stick to methodology accurately.

The British Psychologist William McDougall in his work the group mind (1920) researched the dynamics of groups of various sizes and degrees of organization
Mail article: KURT LEWIN
KURT LEWIM (1943, 1948 and 1951) is commonly identified as the founder of the movement to study groups scientifically. He coined the term group dynamics to describe the way groups and individuals act and react to changing circumstances.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:-
Although this research has managed to achieve its stated objectives, there are some limitations that have been observed. Due to time and resources constraints, this study has chosen to select a limited sample from the manufacturing multinational
Deb Kanya Initial Post Polit & Beck, (2012) describe Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) as an integration of clinical expertise, patient values, and the best research evidence. One of the more challenging aspects of EBP is the actual research on a particular topic. The fact is there is a multitude of journals and reviews etc. on any given subject; for this reason it is imperative that one knows how to conduct a proper search for pertinent information. Due to the complexity of literature searches and the amount of information available it is prudent to follow a guide while doing research.
9. Being in groups was the effect of the rigid caste system by the Spanish in the Americas. These groups were based off of your family. For example the more money your family had the higher you were place. And same if you had little to no money, you were placed lower in the system.
Toy story is the initially enlivened film by Pixar Directed by John Lasseter. Toy Story takes after a gathering of toys who put on a show to be dead at whatever point people are available.

Junger, one himself, writes that when they come home they come from what is essentially a brotherhood into a society in which only immediate families have communal relations to each other. Junger claims individualism robs people of a sense of belonging. In modern society people work for their own food and sleep in separate houses; however, this is not how humans have been geared to live. For most of human history people shared basic necessities with their people groups or tribes. People worked together to gather food, and slept in a
Keeping an open mind and being transparent when doing a literature search is key in producing a comprehensive and meaningful literature review. Discussion 5: 1) Read “How to search evidence” PowerPoint, and 2) discuss at least 5 things what you learned about searching evidence. Five points learned from the Power Point include: 1. Using professional databases such as PubMEd, CINAHL, Cochrane, EBSCO, etc. is essential in finding reliable, current and valid data. 2.
Introduction The concept of identity has been a notion of significant interest not just to sociologists and psychologists, but also to individuals found in a social context of perpetually trying to define themselves. Often times, identities are given to individuals based on their social status within a certain community, after the assessment of predominant characteristics that said individual has. However, within the context of an ethnicity, the concept identity is most probably applied to all members of the ethnical group, and not just one individual. When there is one identity designated for the entire group, often times the factor of “individuality” loses its significance, especially when referring to the relationship between the ethnic
According to University College London (UCL) (2011), critical evaluation helps to filter necessary information, identify studies that are applicable clinically and also for continuous professional development (CPD). However, evaluation of an article, is assessed using pre-designed instrument that encourages a more thorough and systematic method; it is designed for different study design and ask specific questions as pertain validity of the study such as: if the study has given an answer to the research question and has met its set aims and objectives, the methodology, analysis and interpretation of findings (Harder, 2014; Burls, 2009; Whiffin and Hasselder, 2013). It could be said that a good critical assessment plays a vital in evidence-based practice. Therefore, a critical appraisal skills programme (CASP, 2009) checklist will be used to evaluate the selected paper for this
Group Reflection Elements of Yalom’s therapeutic factors were apparent over the course of the semester while experiencing and conducting our breakout groups. Yalom refers to 11 therapeutic factors in the practice of successful group therapy with them being: installation of hope, universality, imparting information, altruism, corrective recapitulation of primary family, development of socializing techniques, imitative behavior, interpersonal learning, group cohesiveness, catharsis, existential factors. Below, will be a reflection of my experience in the group over the course of the semester. Group Cohesiveness Of the 11 factors, group cohesiveness or the warmth of the group in which everyone felt that they belonged was readily apparent at the
The external pressures significantly affect the formation of the team. Personal identity and complex interpersonal interactions result in a highly charged environment and a tense group
The study of group dynamics provides a vehicle to analyse group communications with the intent of rendering the groups more effective (Davies & Newstrom, 1985) (La Monica, 1985). In the next section, this essay will be focused on the relationships and interactions between leadership behaviour and group dynamics. 2.0 BODY OF ANALYSIS There are many leadership behaviour that affects the employee effectiveness, commitment and group dynamics. According to (Folkman, Z., 2010) they have identified the nine behaviours that will have the greatest impact on employee: inspire and motivate others, driving for results, strategic perspective, collaboration, walk the talk, trust, develops and supports others, building relationships and courage.
The membership composition includes, chairperson, deputy chairperson, Head of training, Head of administration and the rest were members. I was the deputy chairperson and my role includes co-facilitating meetings, planning along with organising camps and training. Assessment of Group Dynamics- Part (a) The four dimensions of group dynamics are vital for understanding and working effectively with all types of group.
The literature review gives justified information for the need of conducting the research. Apart from the introduction, there is no other information concerning the research title that could offer detailed information (Chaliha et a., 2001). Despite giving the justified information in the introduction section the paper should have had the literature review section, thus it did not follow the due steps and format of a research paper. The methodology part follows after the introduction and it discloses the methods used, the design, the people included in the study and how the data was sampled and examined. However, the reasons for choosing the design in the research were not
Kurt Lewin’s major contribution lies in the field of Group Dynamics, Field Theory and Action Research. He modelled the social change process in organisational, particularly, industrial setups. 1. Group Dynamics: - Lewin’s definition of a group is widely accepted. Here the basic line of argument is that groups come into being in a psychological sense ‘not because their members necessarily are similar to one another (although they may be); rather, a group exists when people in it realize their fate depends on the fate of the group as a whole’
