### Ringelmann effect ### The Ringelmann effect
[Ringelmann effect on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringelmann_effect) [The Ringelmann effect on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringelmann_effect)
The Ringelmann effect is the tendency of an individual to become increasingly inefficient as more and more people are involved in a task. In other words, as more individuals are added to a team, the more the average individual performance decreases. Multiple causes are believed to be at work, including social loafing and loss of coordination. The Ringelmann effect is the tendency of an individual to become increasingly inefficient as more and more people are involved in a task. In other words, as more individuals are added to a team, the more the average individual performance decreases. Multiple causes are believed to be at work, including loss of motivation ("[social loafing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing)") and challenges related to coordination.
