collectiveness

Shared group identity

Collectiveness is the quality of being collective—shared by or involving a group rather than individuals.

The word emphasizes unity or joint action: The collectiveness of the decision made everyone feel included.

It overlaps with collectivity, though collectiveness tends to describe a quality while collectivity often names the group itself.
