Support and Commitment A group may be more willing to take on a large project than would an individual. In addition to its increased ability to perform work, the group can provide encouragement and support to its members while working on a big project.
Interpersonal Needs Individuals often join a group to meet their interpersonal needs. William Schutz2 has identified three such needs: inclusion, control, and affection.

Inclusion is the need to establish identity with others.
Control is the need to exercise leadership and prove one's abilities. Groups provide outlets for this need. Some individuals do not want to be a leader. For them, groups provide the necessary control over aspects of their lives.
Affection is the need to develop relationships with people. Groups are an excellent way to make friends and establish relationships.
