French & Bell (2006, p.27) say that the interest in teamwork has increased in the recent past, and there is added pressure to develop self-managed and directed teams to improve quality, flexibility and employee morale. Many factors such as physical, social and psychological make people different from one another, and this may cause difficulties in teambuilding effectively. Similar interests and backgrounds among the team members would cause the cohesiveness of the group to increase, and increase the chances of success within the group. Similarity in background would pave way for more empathy and understanding among the team-members. The stability and permanency of the team too, plays some role in this. A more permanent team would be more likely to get on well with each other. Similar skill levels and training are also positive contributors in helping the teams to get along.
