    2. Differences Between Organizations and Groups An organization can be so large that most members do not know most of the other people within it.

Certain psychological needs are better satisfied by groups.

    8. Relationship Roles In Groups Harmonizing: resolving interpersonal conflicts, reducing tension. Encouraging: supporting and praising others, showing appreciation for other's contributions, being warm and friendly. Gatekeeping: assuring even participation by all group members, making sure that everyone has a chance to be heard and that no individual dominates.
