Document Summary

People really try to find a way to be creative. Ex: starbucks baristas making secret menu drinks o asocial o alienation from product of labour and act of production. Ex: frozen lasagna factory, just adding spinach layer. People don"t get to try it or see the finished product so they are disengaged from their work o disengagement wis advice: specialize and divide tasks into parts and roles, management/editor. Do what others do peer/social pressure: ex: workplace bullying, workplace health and safety, answering questions in class, etc, social loafing, reduced effort by each additional group member o two reasons ringelmann proposed social loafing: You don"t want to be the sucker doing other peoples work. Resentful to pull your own weight plus other peoples weight. Each individual can pull 1 unit of weight. You expect the number of people multiplied by 1. But this was not the case (the amount of weight per person added was lower and lower than one)
