Social loafing is the phenomenon where individuals exert less effort in a group setting than when working individually. This reduction in effort is attributed to a perceived diffusion of responsibility and a belief that individual contributions are less noticeable in a group. As a result, individuals may free-ride on the efforts of others, leading to a decline in overall group performance. Social loafing highlights the complex interplay between individual and group dynamics, emphasizing the importance of understanding how social factors impact motivation and productivity within collaborative settings.
