Different people have various opinions. Some poeple claim that teamwork surely beats working individually; while others argue that working by oneself is better than worling in a group. On balance, I would say that there is no easy answer to this rather complicated issue. Which one is more productive depends on the situation. In other words, sometimes it is good to work individually; sometimes it is wiser to join a group.
Teamwork requires cooperative effort, people are more motivated and therefore more productive working in teams than working individually as competitors. My view is that this assertion is true only in some cases.
If one examines the business world, for example, it becomes clear that which approach is more effective in motivating people and in achieving productivity depends on the specific job. In some jobs, productivity dearly depends on the ability of co-workers to cooperate as members of a team. For businesses involved in the production of products through complex processes, all departments and divisions must work in lock-step fashion toward product rollout. Cooperative interaction is even essential in jobs performed in relative isolation and in jobs in which technical knowledge or ability, not the ability to work with others, would seem to be most important. For example, scientists, researchers, and even computer programmers must collaborate to establish common goals, coordinate efforts, and meet time lines. Moreover, the kinds of people attracted to these jobs in the first place are likely to be motivated by a sense of common purpose rather than by individual ambition.
In other types of jobs individual competition, tenacity, and ambition are the keys to productivity. For example, a commissioned salesperson's compensation, and sometimes tenure and potential for promotion as well, are based on comparative sales performance of co-workers. Working as competitors, a firm's individual salespeople maximize productivity-in terms of profit--both for themselves and for their firm. Key leadership positions also call, above all, for a certain tenacity and competitive spirit. A firm's founding entrepreneur must maintain this spirit in order for the firm to survive, let alone to maximize productivity. Moreover, in my observation, the kinds of people inclined toward entrepreneurship and sales in the first place are those who are competitive by nature, not those who are motivated primarily by a sense of common purpose.
On balance, however, my view is that cooperation is more crucial for an organization's long-term productivity than individual competition. Even in jobs where individual competitiveness is part-and-parcel of the job, the importance of cooperation should not be underestimated. Competition among sales people can quickly grow into jealousy, back stabbing, and unethical behavior all of which are counterproductive. And even the most successful entrepreneurs would no doubt admit that without the cooperative efforts of their subordinates, partners, and colleagues, their personal visions would never become reality.
We can not neglect the power of cooperation which can make the group work more efficient than individual workers. The world today is charging at every minute, and people in the society can not catch themselves sometimes. They are busy striving for survive, studying for the improvement. But with the trend of world global more and more chances have been implied to people for their cooperation in their work. We will see Bill Gates the president of Microsoft when he drop out from Harvard University and make his own operating system--DOS, and now the Microsoft company has dominated the software field of PC market. During that time it is easier for an individual to get success than today is. How it will going if you want someone to write the system of windows XP or windows 2000 all by himself? May be he can not finish the thouands of lines of code during his whole life. Hence we will find how powerful teamwork is! With the cooperation in our work, we can finish a large work, solve a difficult problem, and achieve our own goals through the process.
But whether we can say that at any time we should put team work at first and throw the competition which can be take places by cooperation? What can individual competition give us? This is not a hard question, and the thought of competition may in our brain since we go into our school. For the teachers give us a score in every test in order to show how well we have done in this lesson. The score not only brings us the one above but it also brings us the competition. Everyone want to be a successful man, so he will do his best to studying which can make him get a high mark in his final test. There is not any wrong with this phenomenon. But during the process the competition among any individual become more and more serious, the higher position you get, the more competition you will meet. It is not only in our daily studying, but in all the aspects of our daily life. So it is necessary for us to pay more attention to the way of competition. Whether it is right can lead you to different results.
So as we know, both the cooperation and the individual competition are important for any group and the members of the group. We have talk about the cooperation and competition seperately above. But in my opinion it is not right to dividing the competition and cooperation into two parts. We should see in our world today the competition is needed fro the growth of any individual with the premise that we have the idea that teamwork can help us make more efficient and happier in our work.
Teamwork means better outcome in certain cercumstances. In a team, you can not only feel the "peer presure" of other members in the group which is good to your productivity, but also get help from others. My preparation of the Graduate Record Examination is a good case in piont. At first I used to prepare for the test by myself. After a few weeks, however, I found it so difficlut remembering thousands of words as well as writing such difficult essays. I was about to give up. In order to get more motivation, I went to see a classmate who is also preparing for GRE, and asked him if we could prepare for the test together. As he agreed, from that day on, we talk to each other what we learned the day before, which soon I found to to be a good way of studying. When he told me that he remembered 50 new words, as I congratulated him, I told myself, "I am going to try to remember 55 today, more than you did". In addition, when we feel depressed, it was always good to tell each other how we felt. Once he found his girlfriend cheeting on him. He was so sad that he couldn't concerntrate on GRE preparation. However, as the saying goes, "A happiness shared by two is double happiness; a sorrow shared by two is half sorrow." As he shared his sorrow to me, he felt much better.Further more, we often lended our books to each other. Working in a group really helped both of us in a variety of aspects.
On the other hand, often times it is better working by our own than working with other people. What the manager of a cooperation usually do when he finds the productivity of a group to remain low is cutting off the number of people in the group, down to only one at times. The reason is simple. When there are too many people in a group, it is rather difficult to reach an agreement, because different people hold different opinions, which results in a waste of time as the argument goes on. What's more, in some cases it is not necessary to havemore people wrking on a project. For instance, in the spacecraft "Shenzhou II" that China sent into the space, there is only one operator in it. The more people there are in the space craft, the more money the government spends, the more risk the government takes. As a result, having as less people as possible in such a big project means less investment and more security, and it surely brings up the productivity.
In conclusion, it is not fair to say working individually is more productive than working in a group, or vice versa. Whether we choose to work by our won or jion in a group depands on the situation we are in.individual competitiveness and ambition are essential motivating forces for certain types of jobs, while in other jobs it is a common sense of mission that motivates workers to achieve maximum productivity. In the final analysis, however, the overall productivity of almost every organization depends ultimately on the ability of its members to cooperate as a team.
