Podcasts about social loafing

Send us a textIn this episode, Mark and Andrew dig into the story of the Ringelmann Effect, a phenomenon first observed by French academic Max Ringelmann that suggests that individuals produce less output when they're in a group. They explore the historical context of Ringelmann's research and compare it with later research that coined the terms ‘social loafing' and ‘the Sucker effect'. Discussing studies by Ingham, Latane, and Kerr, and their own insights, Mark & Andrew uncover how individual effort can decrease in group settings due to factors like coordination loss, lack of motivation, and perceived fairness. Despite these challenges, the episode demonstrates how teams can still achieve outcomes that individuals never could, as long as there's proper motivation and shared goals.Chapters00:00 Suckers, Social Loafing and the Ringelmann Effect00:45 Introduction to the Ringelmann Effect01:34 Exploring the Original Ringelmann Paper03:58 Ringelmann's Experiments and Findings08:42 Coordination vs. Motivation in Group Effort18:20 Steiner's research19:10 Extending Ringelmann: Ingham's Rope-Pulling Experiments23:11 Latané et al's research24:47 Latane's Social Loafing Studies28:21 Coordination vs Motivation32:26 Exploring Attribution and Equity35:46 Understanding Overconfidence Bias38:47 The Sucker Effect and Social Loafing47:04 Positive and Negative pulls on team performance48:49 The Role of Motivation in Team Dynamics59:52 Concluding Thoughts on TeamworkResearch cited:Latané, B., Williams, K., & Harkins, S.

#to avoid activity, especially work

The landscape of work has been undergoing significant changes in recent years, and in particular since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. From the surge in remote work to the emergence of "lazy girl jobs" and generative AI, a profound revolution is unfolding.  Yet, some aspects of the work environment seem resistant to change. Remember that person who contributed little to nothing in a group project at school, yet somehow managed to get the best grade? Frustrating as hell and puzzling for everyone else right? Well, that kind of behaviour is also sometimes seen in work colleagues, and it's recently been labelled as "Social Loafing." How can I recognize Social Loafing in the workplace then? Is it just a matter of laziness, then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Could Britain ever rejoin the EU?

Le monde du travail est en constante évolution depuis la pandémie de Covid-19. Entre l'avènement du télétravail, la découverte des lazy girl job ou encore la phobie des intelligences artificielles, c'est une véritable révolution qui se déroule sous nos yeux. Mais il y a certaines choses qui ne semblent pas vouloir changer, même en entreprise. Vous vous souvenez de ce pote qui ne faisait rien dans un travail en groupe ? Ça nous énervait tous, et on ne comprenait pas pourquoi il avait la meilleure note. Et bien certains de vos collègues font exactement la même chose. Et depuis peu, on appelle ce phénomène le "social loafing". Qu'est-ce que c'est ? Est-ce juste de la fainéantise ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez".

Did you know that 1 + 1 + 1 does not always equal 3?  You would think that the more people on a project, the greater the output.  Sadly, that's not always the case.  A phenomenon called Social Loafing leads some team members to do the minimum possible.  They drag down group productivity like a boat anchor.  Today we'll look at why social loafing happens, and six ways you can be sure to get the best effort from everyone.Notes and Resources:Prefer to read?  Here's the full post:  Stop Social Loafing: 6 Ways to Get Everyone WorkingHere's the original article about Max Ringleman's findings. Social loafing is the tendency for people to exert less effort when they are part of a group than when they are by themselves.For how to harness social pressures to build a higher-performing group, check out Secrets of Social Facilitation:  Putting the Audience to WorkReasons for social loafing can relate to group size, goal achievability, goal value, goal low-balling, skill differential within the group, and the “Sucker Effect.” Quotable: “The larger the group, the greater the tendency to slack off.”  - Ken Downer“Good leaders do their best to prevent a competition for ‘who's best at doing the least.'”  - Ken Downer“Potential ‘loafers' will be more likely to contribute if they believe they will be found out.”  - Ken Downer“Peers may be in the best position to assess who's pulling their weight.”  - Ken DownerRelated posts: SMART Goals: How to be SMART about Goal-SettingThey Do This in Church, Too? 9 Ways Getting Constructive Feedback is a Game-ChangerHow to Get Kicked Out of Leadership School: The Spotlight Leader

Emma and Gil welcome Dr. Mary Flanagan, designer of Monarch, Visitor in Blackwood Grove, Buffalo, Awkward Moment, and plethora of other games in a myriad of styles and platforms, from party to strategy on digital in tabletop. Dr. Flanagan is also an artist, having exhibited works (many game-related) all around the world, and teaches game design at Dartmouth, who also hosts her game design and research lab, Tiltfactor. We discuss designing games from the perspectives of fun and meaningful change. How does one make a transformative game that players actually enjoy, but that is still effective at building empathy and fighting prejudice? CONTENT WARNING: There is a brief mention of racial prejudice, and sexual assault in literary works towards the end of the episode. SHOW NOTES 0m21s: "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence. This video explains it, and other lexically ambiguous sentences. 1m21s: Tiltfactor, Dr. Flanagan's game design and research lab at Dartmouth  1m57s: If you're reading this, congratulations, you're reading the show notes! 3m58s: Professor Scott Rogers covered The Game of The Goose in Biography of a Board Game 221.5. 4m27s: For more information on these French Revolution-themed versions of Game of the Goose (Jeu de la Revolution Francaise), check out page 17 of this PDF. It's also interesting to note that Robespierre attempted to install a new state religion for France during the Revolution, the Cult of the Supreme Being (Culte de l'Être suprême); it's entirely possible that its dogma was reinforced through things like board games. Perhaps it also helped with the bizarre decimal-time-based calendar that Robespierre couldn't get to stick, but that still frustrates historians to this day. 5m30s: More information about Dr. Flanagan's book, Critical Play. 6m39s: The Landlord's Game by Lizzie Magie is the game that Monopoly was based on. 7m51s: September 12: A Toy World is a game where a player is trying to kill terrorists by firing missiles at a village. But every terrorist you kill creates more terrorists, as the locals get angrier at your actions. Soon, the village is gone and you are surrounded by terrorists. There is no way to win the game through shooting. 7m56s: Paolo Pedercini also makes commentary games. (Note that this link contains adult content.) Jump to the McDonald's Videogame here.  8m13s: More info on Profit Seed. 8m33s: More info on Layoff. 9m40s: More info on Pox: Save the Puppies. 10m32s: "Designing Games to Foster Empathy," the paper Dr. Flanagan wrote with Jonathan Belman. 15m04s: More info about psychological distance. 16m16s: Gil is referring to Ludology 213.5 - The Incan Gold Experiment, run by Dr. Stephen Blessing and research assistant Elena Sakosky. (Gil refers to the game from the original European release's name, Diamant, but it was released in English as Incan Gold.) 19m51s: For a longer discussion on what "fun" means in a game, and on a deeper level, how games create meaning, check out Ludology 201 - Are We Having Fun Yet? 21m20s: More info on the party game Buffalo. 24m14s: More info on social identity complexity 26m13s: More info on the party game Awkward Moment. 31m10s: For more discussion on board games and colonialism, check out Ludology Episode 197 - Empires Up in Arms.

Moore. 1h03m31s: The show will be called "Gameplay: Video Game Culture," at the CCCB in Barcelona, Spain.  1h04m07s: "Max" is Max Seidman, game designer at Resonym and frequent collaborator with Dr. Flanagan. 1h05m41s: We've covered the lightweight interactive fiction platform Twine before on the show, most notably on Ludology 217 - What IF?
