- Group Property 1: Roles
A set of expected behaviour patterns attributed to someone occupying a given position in a social unit.
--Role perception
An individual’s view of how he or she is supposed to act in a given situation.
--Role expectations
How others believe a person should act in a given situation. --Psychological contract.
An unwritten agreement that sets out what management expects from an employee and vice versa.
Group property 2: Norms
Acceptable standards of behaviour within a group that are shared by the group’s members. When agreed to and accepted by the group, norms influence members’ behaviour with a minimum of external controls. Different groups, communities and societies have different norms, but they all have them. Norms can cover virtually any aspect of group behaviour.
