Workgroups include command (or functional)
Workgroups include command (or functional) groups and affinity groups (as well as teams). Workgroups are formal groups established by the organization to do its work.
A command group is relatively permanent and is characterized by functional reporting relationships such as having both a group manager and those who report to the manager. Command groups are usually included in the organization chart.
In business organizations, most employees work in command groups, as typically specified on an official organization chart. The size, shape, and organization of a company’s command groups can vary considerably. Typical command groups in organizations include the quality-assurance department, the customer service department, the cost-accounting department, and the human resource department.
Affinity groups are relatively permanent collections of employees from the same level in the organization who meet on a regular basis to share information, capture emerging opportunities, and solve problems. Affinity groups are a special type of formal group: They are set up by the organization, yet they are not really part of the formal organization structure. They are not really command groups because they are not part of the organizational hierarchy, yet they are not task groups because they stay in existence longer than any one task. Affinity groups are groups of employees who share roles, responsibilities, duties, and interests, and which represent horizontal slices of the normal organizational hierarchy.
Employees sometimes form groups to discuss or pursue common interests.
