collectivity

Shared group identity

Collectivity is the quality or state of being collective—acting or existing as a group rather than as individuals.

It can also refer to a group itself, especially one united by shared purpose or identity: The union emphasized collectivity over individual bargaining.

The word appears in political and sociological contexts discussing how people organize and make decisions together.
