Document Summary
Social influence in organizations: people act differently in groups than they would as an independent operator. In many social settings, especially group"s people are dependent on others this dependence sets stage for influence. Information dependence: the idea of needing to rely on others in the organization for information. In turn the info provided can influence how you behave act and think in the organization. Social information processing theory: information from others is used to interpret events and create expectations about appropriate and acceptable attitudes and behaviours. Effect dependence: reliance on others due to the rewards and punishments they provide in accordance to their behaviour. A problem with information and effect dependence is the tendency for group members to conform to social norms established in the group. 3 types of social conformity: compliance: complies with the norms and acts/behaves in accordance so you can be accepted and acquire rewards and avoid punishment.
