Abstract : A successful organization depends on its members being able to communicate, work together, establish trust, and coordinate their efforts in order to function as a cohesive Group to achieve a common objective. Therefore, without positive group dynamics, no institutions can fully utilize its workforce's potential and skills to achieve better firm-outcomes. According to Ackah (2021) ECG is a non-performing entity. Hence, this paper examined how group dynamics affect ECG's overall work-output. The 200 participants were chosen using cluster and simple random techniques. The responses collated through structured-surveys. Multiple regression was used to analyse data. Findings illustrates that group-dynamics retains substantial positive influence on ECG outcomes; [Ƒ(12, 187) = 19.6, p ˂ 0.05)]. clearness-of-group-expectancy (r=0.956, p˂0.05), innovativeness (r=0.953, p˂0.05), skills/expertise (r=0.942, p˂0.05), group-controls (r=0.977, p˂0.05), leadership/governance (r= 0.989, p˂ 0.05), group- communications (r=0.899, p˂0.05), firm-tone (r=0.892, p˂ 0.05), group-structure (r= 0.897, p˂ 0.05), group- dedication (r=0.926, p˂ 0.05), teamwork (r=0.970, p˂0.05), group-cooperation (r=0.939, p˂ 0.05), and group-cohesiveness retains (r=0.896, p˂ 0.05). The study recommends to ECG top-officials to build efficacious group-dynamics for staff to performance.
