CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction This chapter gives the background of the study, problem statement, purpose of the study, objectives of the study, research questions, scope, the significance of the study and conceptual framework. 1.1 Background of the study Historically, this era of increased competition, leaders recognize the influence of teamwork more than ever before. Teams can expand the outputs of individuals through collaboration. Organizations which are working in teams become the standard for the betterment of an organization (Alie, Beam & Carey, 1998). It is the mean of improving man-power utilization and potentially raising performance of organization. With a support from upper level management, an organization works confidently in team and increases productivity of the organization. Nowadays, in the new business world, managers are assigning more team projects to employees with opportunities to strengthen their knowledge and develop their skills (Hartenian, 2003). Recent study shows that employee working within the team can produce more output as compared to individual (Jones, Richard, Paul, Sloane & Peter, 2007). In Pakistan a very small number of researches were conducted on teamwork. So this research study highlights the influence of organization teams within the Pakistani organizations. Research study uses new model organizations to find out the effects of teamwork, esprit de corps (team spirit), team trust and recognition and rewards on organization. The purpose or objectives of this study are as to find out the influence of teamwork, esprit de corps, team trust, recognition and rewards on organization and also to find out the relationship between teamwork and organization performance. This study may also add up to the literature of organizational behaviour (OB) and human resource management (HRM) in eastern work setting. Teamwork is taken in this study as an independent variable (I.V) whereas organizational performance is taken as a dependent variable (D.V). Various other measures of organizational performance are also included in the research study, which are esprit de corps, team trust, and recognition & rewards.
