In a Bengaluru reinsurer's team, one member consistently contributes less on group deliverables because individual contributions are not visible and credit is shared equally. Which measure would most directly reduce this social loafing?

Making individual tasks and contributions identifiable and assessing them best reduces social loafing. Accountability rises when effort is visible, whereas enlarging the team, limiting communication, removing targets or rotating leaders does not link individual effort to recognition.

  5. Rotate the team leader daily

Explanation

Social loafing increases when effort is anonymous. Making individual contributions identifiable and evaluated creates accountability. Larger teams usually worsen it, and the other options do not link effort to visibility.
