Analysis of Psychological Aspects of the Formation of a Project Group. Systematic Approach

This article explores the psychological dimensions of project group formation, advocating a systematic approach to enhance group cohesion and performance. The hypothesis asserts that integrating psychological principles – motivation, group identity, role clarity, and psychological safety – optimizes group formation processes. Utilizing Social Identity Theory, Tuckman’s group development model, and Self-Determination Theory, the study examines how individual and collective behaviors shape early group dynamics. Methods encompass general scientific approaches (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction), theoretical research, historical analysis, statistical modeling, and mathematical formulation. A systematic framework, supported by statistical data and a mathematical model, is proposed to guide project managers.Practical recommendations address challenges like conflict, cultural diversity, and virtual team dynamics, bolstered by empirical evidence. The findings emphasize the universal relevance of psychological factors in project management. Future research directions include advanced metrics and virtual team adaptations.
