Work groups
A collection of employees can be defined as work group. The basic purpose of a work group is to interact primarily to share information. They should align to maximise organization’s goal.
The performance of a work group is merely the summation of each group member’s individual contribution.
Every work group must have strong and clearly focused leaders. In the work group, the members are individually accountable and the basic objective of work groups is the attainment of the goals of the organisation. Sometimes The work group has formal and efficient meetings. It also increases the team productivity.
work groups are the traditional work unit or department groups with a supervisor who plays a strong role as the boss. Almost everyone has had some experience with this work setup, especially in a first job. Each person in a work group has his or her own job and works under the close supervision of the boss. The boss is in charge and tells the employees the do’s and don’ts in their jobs.
There are two types of work group we can in the organization
01.Formal work Group
Groups created by the administration are referred to as formal groups and correspond primarily to organizational units. For example, HR department, Marketing Division, Production unit, Manufacturing Unit etc. Leaders of these groups (heads of departments) are mainly appointed by the administration, and members of the group (employees of units) are also employed by it and each formal work group have specific targets on behalf of the organization (Chih-Hsun Chuang, 2010) .

You are correct most of the organisations mainly regulated by the Human Resource Management. Now we don't have administration as we had decades back. Most of the decisions made itself by HR considering psychological factors to take action towards marketing, production, and manufacturing units.
