True/False. A difference between work team and work group is that a group’s performance is merely the summation of each member’s individual contribution while a team generates positive synergy through coordination.

True

Explanation:

A work group refers to a set up comprising of many individuals working in the same department wherein each of those are individually responsible for the work they perform.

In such cases, people work together in a department since they perform a related common function, say accounting.

On the other hand, a work team comprises of individuals selected from different departments to accomplish a common goal collectively. In this case, the team is collectively responsible for the work performed.

In a team, there exists mutual dependence which is not true in case of a work group. Also, in a team, the work performed in coordination provides synergistic advantages unlike in case of a work group.
