Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social loafing is the phenomenon where individuals exert less effort when working in a group than when working alone. To reduce social loafing, it's important to make each member's contributions visible (E), increase the task's appeal (A), and provide feedback on performance, preferably in a constructive manner (B). Publicly giving feedback on poor performance (C) can also motivate improvement, but it must be handled carefully to avoid negative effects. Evaluating performance only at the group level (D) does not reduce social loafing; it actually can exacerbate it by obscuring individual contributions, making it the correct choice for an action Janice should not take.
