The social loafing effect is a psychological concept based on the finding that a person expends less effort on a group task than when they work on a project alone.
The history of the social loafing effect attributed to Bibb Latané, dates to the work of max Ringelmann.
A quote from a meta-analytic review follows.
Social loafing is the tendency for individuals to expend less effort when working collectively than when working individually. A meta-analysis of 78 studies demonstrates that social loafing is robust and generalizes across tasks and S populations. A large number of variables were found to moderate social loafing.
