Document Summary
Interact and exert mutual influence on one another. Forming- when group first comes together: storming- butting heads, unestablished roles, norming- roles are clear and understood, performing- easy to do when norming has happened. As groups develop, prepare for the break up. Makes sense for medium length duration groups. Pendular group development: orientation, differentiation and conflict, resolution and cohesion, termination. Formal roles - dictated by the nature and structure of the organization. Know what"s expected and the duties of the role. People who do or don"t want to be appointed. Role conflict - when people don"t want or refuse a role. When people are forced to accept a role. Norms - a level of performance, pattern of behavior or belief. Distinctiveness- groups feel unique, group identity increases. Fairness- trust other members and be treated fairly. Similarity- equal commitment, attitude, aspirations, and goals. Social support- providing resources to members to enhance their well-being.
