The phenomenon you're referring to is called "diffusion of responsibility."
It often occurs in group settings where everyone assumes someone else will take action, leading to inaction or delays. A closely related concept is the "bystander effect," especially in emergency situations.
In work or project settings, this can also contribute to "social loafing," where individuals put in less effort because they assume others will handle the task.
Summary of Related Terms:
-
Diffusion of Responsibility – Responsibility is spread out across a group, so no one feels personally accountable.
-
Bystander Effect – People are less likely to help when others are present.
-
Social Loafing – Individuals exert less effort in a group setting.
