Abstract
This study assesses university’s students’ views on team work. The specific research aim is to investigate the factors that affect students’ satisfaction when undertaking group work. The data used in this paper were derived from both primary and secondary sources. The secondary data was collected via a detailed review of related literature. The primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire aimed at 55 BTech (undergraduate final year) students. Data received from the questionnaires was analysed using descriptive statistics procedures. Findings from the study revealed that the most important factors which affect students’ satisfaction when undertaking group works are: students having the same attitude towards work; ground rules for the operation of the group; some students do not come to group meetings and not all students contribute to the group assignments. This study reveals the key determinants of students’ satisfaction when undertaking group work, hence preparing the students to be team players before they enter the world of work.
