Figure 1 shows a state of social wandering. Ringelthan confirmed this as the membership of the group increased and the contribution of each member declined. In this case, the lack of glow of the organization is due to social wandering. Social wandering is defined as "few people work in the team than when working alone" (wikipedia.org, 2006). The study showed that this phenomenon is correct. For example, Ringelthan conducted experiments to prove that individuals are roped harder than 2, 3, or 8 people. He discovered that only 30% of the two were 30%, while only 55% of the three groups plummeted to 8% of the 49 people. The bigger the group, the more likely each member is contributing to the group. Result (Plous, 1993, page 193)

The theory of social idleness is evident in many situations of life. Compared to living alone, social wandering means reducing the workload of individuals working within the team (Weiten, 2008: 491). Max Ringelmann (1913) first offered a social wandering idea, but when they were told that a group of men would pull the ropes they did not make as much effort as they did. The tension generated by the participant is measured by the strain gauge attached to the rope. When the group was led to believe that there were other team members to help them, he noticed that they did not tend to work more than when they were pulling alone.
