The literature regarding small group behavior poses an interesting anomaly. On the one hand, the professional literature emphasizes the contribution of small group participation to organizational effectiveness. On the other, there is disquieting evidence of dissatisfaction among organizational members regarding their experiences in groups. This study examines the nature of this implicit disparity, suggests sources of group members' dissatisfaction, and discusses theoretical and practical implications for students of small group behavior.
