- Additive Work Group: All group members perform the same activity and pool their results at the end. An example of this would be gathering signatures for a petition drive.
- Conjunctive Work Group: Group members perform different, but related, tasks that allow for the completion of a goal. Every group member must complete their task in order for the group task to be completed. An example of this would be an assembly line, in which each worker performs tasks that together build a completed car.
- Disjunctive Task: Members meet to determine the best alternative for a problem or issue. There are two types of disjunctive tasks
1)Judgment Task: Group members must choose one correct answer from all alternatives.
2)Decision-Making Task: Group members must choose the best alternative from a set of options. There is no one correct answer for a decision-making group.
