Finding ways to recognize individual effort can help to motivate individuals to contribute more to the group effort and decrease the likelihood of social loafing. This can include giving praise or rewards for individual achievements within the group. Ensuring that no job is particularly interesting or rewarding (A) is not an effective strategy as it may lead to decreased motivation and engagement in the task. While ensuring that all group members are well-educated and trained (B) may contribute to individual performance and group effectiveness, it does not necessarily address social loafing specifically. Adding more members to the group (D) may also not be effective, as it can lead to diffusion of responsibility and a larger potential for social loafing.
