Theory At Work Paper Introduction Group interaction may not seem like a high priority of study for many people that work solely in one position, but for people who are forced to work with others and make decisions that affect a company or organization it is a very important attribute. This paper will integrate various theories discussed throughout the class. It will present positive consequences of functional groups on problem solving, changes in interpersonal relationships, improved information flow and organizational growth. This paper will also discuss the topic of background factors which include: sex, age, personality, health and values. I will not only define what background factors are but give an explanation of how these factors can affect a group positively and negatively. This paper will also hope to emphasize how these factors are used in group interaction. In order to show how these background factors can affect a group, I will give both personal and professional examples.
