Step-by-step explanation:

The three problems associated with teams in organizations are:

  1. Group thinking
  2. Social loafing
  3. Conflicts due to hierarchy and unclear responsibilities.

Group thinking can affect the quality of work, productivity and innovation of the team, this problem arises as a result of establishing a decision consensus without carrying out sufficient testing, analysis and evaluations, as there is a need for the members to reduce conflicts and remain in the comfort zone so as not to disturb the consensual development of the team.

Social loafing is a problem observed when members of a team contribute less effort to achieve the expected results. This can lead to a decrease in innovative ideas and work overload for some team members.

In conflicts due to unclear hierarchy and responsibilities, they can be generated due to disagreements in the way a team is led and in the division of responsibilities that are not well established in a team, so there must be clear, direct communication and that conflicts be resolved ethically for the sake of the progress of teamwork.
