How Does Self-Serving Bias Contribute to Group Dynamics and Team Performance?

Self-serving bias is an interesting idea that shows how people act in groups and how teams work together. Here are some key points I’ve noticed:

  1. Playing the Blame Game: When a project doesn’t go well, team members often blame outside factors instead of looking at their own role in it. This helps them feel better about themselves, but it can cause problems within the team.

  2. Taking the Credit: On the flip side, when things go right, individuals usually take all the credit for the success. This can make team members competitive instead of working together.

  3. Effect on Team Spirit: Over time, this way of thinking can hurt trust and communication. This can lead to poorer team performance.

From what I have seen, understanding these biases helps teams handle conflicts better and create a more supportive environment.
