team cohesion
Collective working harmony
Team cohesion is the degree to which members of a group bond together and remain united in pursuing shared goals.
It encompasses both social connection—how well people get along—and task commitment—how aligned they are on objectives.
High team cohesion typically correlates with better performance and morale: The coach worked to build team cohesion during preseason.
Low cohesion often manifests as cliques, miscommunication, or members pulling in different directions.
