Abstract

A team is defined as a collection of people who rely on group collaboration such that each of its members experiences an optimum of success level reaching of both personal and team based goals. A team can be characterized as a group of people possessing various skills, experience, competencies, and who are jointly responsible for achieving a collective goal. Team structure is defined here as team relationships that determine the allocation of tasks, responsibilities, and authority. Team building can be defined as a long range program for uniting people into shared efforts for improving the effectiveness of a working group. Team development is a process of putting together various members, having them integrate with each other, focusing on a team objective, working together to resolve conflicts, and ultimately working towards a common goal. The past research works on team building suggest that the effectiveness of the process mostly depends on the number of factors such as leadership ability, interpersonal relationship among the members, team objectives, environment etc. The present work has made an effort to identify the factors that are considered important by the team members for the effective team building process in an organization.
