Think of the classic school project, where one or two high-achievers do 80% of the work while the rest of the team loaf around. Unfortunately, social loafing or the perception of it occurs in the workplace, too. When teammates see (or even think) that others are doing less work than them but still getting the same reward, it can cause conflict and demotivation.
