Group cohesiveness

Group cohesiveness is the degree to which group members are attracted to one another and share the group’s goals.

Groups in which there’s a lot of internal disagreement and lack of cooperation are less effective in completing their tasks than are groups in which members generally agree, cooperate, and like each other.
