Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Process losses refer to any reduction in group performance that is caused by problems or inefficiencies in how the group is functioning. These losses may be due to coordination problems (such as members duplicating each other's efforts or working at cross-purposes) or motivation problems (such as members not exerting maximum effort because they feel that their contributions are not valued). While such losses can occur regardless of group size, they may be more pronounced in larger groups, where it becomes more difficult to coordinate and motivate members effectively. The potential productivity of the group is influenced by both the inherent ability of its members as well as by process losses caused by coordination and motivation problems.
