The groups, specially the informal groups are very powerful instruments in all organisations and sometimes they can make the difference between success and failure. When the group members WANT to do a job, it is always done better than when they HAVE to do it because of the instructions from the superiors. Therefore motivating the groups, specially the informal groups, and making them "want to do", will undoubtedly lead to success.

Need Satisfaction Theories consider the identification of specific unsatisfied needs, whereas the Instrumentality Theories try to explain the process by which the behaviour is directed towards specific goals.

Questions were given to the respondents on Monday and asked to fill it within the week and collected on Friday of the same week. Questions were developed to cover 4 areas, which affect the trainee's work performance.
