Ringelmann Effect. How does it contribute to our modern-day understanding of team dynamic?

Ringelmann Effect can be described as the phenomena in which the performance of the individual member of the team declines on increasing the size of the team or group.

On research of the Ringelmann Effect, it was found that on increasing the size of the team or the group the performance improved whereas the inclusion of an additional member resulted in diminishing effect on the productivity.

The Ringelmann Effect concluded that the overall productivity of the group with more members will be more but the individual productivity of that group will be less.

In modern day understanding of the team dynamics, the firm should be able to identify the size of the team or group in order to fulfill their work objective thus avoiding the Ringelmann Effect.

The time management in small groups is more precise and hence the barrier in communication is also lesser.
