Think…..Almost all of our time is spent interacting in groups; we are educated in groups, we work in groups, we worship in groups, and we play in groups. But even though we live our lives in groups, we often take them for granted. Consider their influence on you by enumerating the groups to which you belong, as well as those that influence you.
1. Make a list of all the groups you belong to now. List as many as possible; don't forget family, clubs, sport teams, classes, social groups, cliques of friends, workteams, and social categories that are meaningful to you (e.g., Indian).
2. Which group has changed the most over time? Describe this change briefly?
3. Which group has influenced you, as an individual, the most? Explain the group's influence on you briefly.
4. Identify five groups that you do not belong to, but that influence you in some way. Of these groups, which one influences you--your behaviors, your emotions, or your outcomes--the most?

Group behaviour model External conditions imposed on group- Organisational strategy- Authority structures- Formal regulations- Organisational resources- HR selection process- Performance evaluation and reward
system- Organisational culture- Physical work settings

Group Structure
- Formal Leadership- Roles: A set of expected behaviour
patterns attributed to someone occupying a given position in a social unit-Role Identity: Attitudes and behaviours consistent with a role
-Role Perception
- Role expectation- Role Conflict

Norms: Acceptable standards of behaviour within a group that are shared by group members
- Performance norms- Appearance norms- Social arrangement norms- Allocation of resources norms

How norms develop? Explicit
statements made by a group member
Critical events in group history
Primacy
![Page 12: Group dynamics](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052821/554950a3b4c905e94e8b4983/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why norms develop?
- Facilitates group survival- Increases predictability of group
members’ behaviours- Reduces embarrassing situations- Gives identity to group

Group Processes Synergy: An action of two or more
substances that results in an effect that is different from the individual summation of the substances
Group Think Group Shift
