Romulus VANCEA

Abstract


Groups and teams represent a common way for organizing the work in any organization. In order to benefit from their advantages, managers should know the particularities of different types of groups and teams which are or can be used in organizations. Thus, in the present paper we first present the main forms of authority in organization, respectively the organizational relationship, due to the fact that they will mainly influence the effectiveness of work groups and work teams. Then, we emphasize the characteristics of different types of groups and teams in organizational context, the reasons for their use and the management issues that can occur.
