As a result, individual employees have lost their sense of stability and security, which can be provided by being a member of a group. However, if teams continuously change within jobs, then employees feel anxious, empty, and irrational and become harder to work with.<ref name="Mayo"/> The innate desire for lasting human association and management "is not related to single workers, but always to working groups."<ref name="Mayo"/> In groups, employees will self-manage and form relevant customs, duties, and traditions.
