Opportunity for interaction:

When people are provided with an opportunity to interact, they may discover that they have a lot in common and this leads to friendship which people find to be desirable. In organizational settings, management generally tries to create a physical as well as psychological environment to induce interaction.

Group activities:

People may be motivated to join a group because the group activities appeal to them. As the saying goes, “birds of a feather fly together,” so the groups form around common political and cultural philosophies, ethnic and religious affiliations and such factors as age, sex, intelligence or similar social interests and hobbies such as playing cards or going bowling.

Group goals:

Interests and goals which are common and require cooperation with others for achievement of such goals are a powerful force behind such group formation. For example, within an organization, the salesmen form a group. Even though, these salesmen have individual goals, their organizational goal is common.

Some goals simply cannot be achieved by individuals alone and they require group cooperative physical activity.

 Instrumental benefits:

People also sometimes join groups because membership in such groups is instrumental in providing other benefits.
