Example: Dorothy Cotton is a respected psychologist and a frequent contributor to publications in her field of study. In her article, “Social loafing is the bane of work groups,” Cotton discusses some real life examples of social loafing and its effects on group production. The author investigates some possible reasons for the phenomenon of social loafing. Cotton makes mention that each member in a group has less accountability and that group members are less personally invested in the project, resulting in less concern for the final product. Cotton also lists some people groups that tend to be more prone to social loafing. An interesting fact is that those who feel they have superior skill tend to produce less in a group. The author concludes her article by recommending some suggestions for combating social loafing in groups. Firstly, each group member should be chosen carefully by picking people who are invested in the project. Secondly, each member should be accountable for a specific assignment. It is important for groups to minimize social loafing as much as possible in order to increase productivity and maximize the potential of each contributing group member.
