ger and Dickson, 1941). According to Palazzolo (1981), “a collection of individual whose common work experience result in the development of a system of interpersonal relations beyond those expected of them by values of their employment”. Such type of group is characterized by friendliness and common interest where as group goals which are not required for the efficient performance of their expected work activity. It is also a flow of functioning in setting s outside the working environment. This may also develop relationships of a primary nature which relationships last longer than their common work experience (Hussein, 1989). For e.g. in formal group, when I was an employee for an company where our selected group use to follow rules and regulation like communicate should be done strictly related to work, not to behave in causal way etc. whereas if I had any problem related my work then I use to directly consent to the my leader rather than other employees. Due to which that work was based as an individual thinking. Whereas an example of an informal group, during an event organisation held in our university named ‘Spectrum- The Ray of Light', I was a member of that event group, if I had certain problem related to my work I use to feel free to ask for a help from our co-members and leaders which motivated me a lot which automatically which created an extra efforts in my work and completed it efficiently. And which also helped me to gain the knowledge from other members of the group. It also made me to become socialized between the people due to which it developed my communication skills, there was better understanding, and behaved in very friendly way so that if there is any problem can be discussed with everyone. So according to my personal experience informal groups are better than formal groups. Apart from that there is most important advantage of informal groups. Sometimes informal groups is also rewarding for an individual like if an individual is having a good relation with top manager in the group can help him to get promoted to higher post or vice-versa, or increase in higher salary etc. which is an potential demanding for an individual in group.

Under this section describes some general stages through which groups evolve and points out the sequential development process involved such as forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning (Bettenhausen, 1991). According to Tuckman (1965) the initial stage of group starts with forming which means coming together and begins to form its own working relationships For e.g. when the group is formed the members of the group has to maintain good communication relation with other members in the group which helps them to achieve the goal efficiently. After forming there is second stage which is storming which means various members in the groups works together to settle any disagreements and set priorities for e.g. where he/she has to achieve some importance in a group while maintaining relationship with other members in a group rather than creating the conflicts. The next stage is norming which is characterized by co-operation and collaboration for e.g. members of the group coming together and try to sort out the problem by suggestion of idea from different members in the group and also to maintain good relation with the members.
