A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS OF TEAM PSYCHOLOGY, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, MEMBER COMPOSITION, LEADERSHIP AND COLLABORATION IN IMPROVING WORK GROUP PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This study aims to critically examine the role of organizational values, team composition, leadership, motivation, and work culture in shaping behavior and the effectiveness of problem-solving within teams in organizations. Using a qualitative literature review approach, the author collected recent research findings from credible books and journals. The review results indicate that the internalization of core values and culture plays a vital role in building loyalty, cohesion, and open communication among team members. A heterogeneous team composition, combined with adaptive leadership, enhances intrinsic motivation and cross-functional collaboration effectiveness through collective learning processes. Fair reward systems and continuous training strengthen the resilience of workgroups in facing change. Managerial implications include the need for restructuring teams, consolidating human resource development programs, and reinforcing supervision systems based on a collaborative culture. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by mapping the determinants of team success in modern work environments and providing strategies to optimize group synergy and adaptation to external pressures and organizational changes.
