Social loading is a negative group influence. Which occurs due to defusion of responsibility. For the quality performance of the group, it should be reduced. It can be reduced through the following methods:

(i) By making the efforts of each person identifiable.

(ii)increasing the pressure to work hard (making group-members committed to successful tasks performance).

(iii) increasing the apparent importance or value of a task.

(iv) making people feel that their individual contribution is important.

(v) strengthening group cohesiveness which increases the motivation for successful group outcome.
