ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR1
Part 1
Describe the norms that appear to exist in this group.
There were a number of different norm in the group that were followed by the employees
of the business. The very first being the operation of the workers on a job rotation basis. The job
rotation basis ensured that each of the members of the business worked two days constantly on
each day of their job selection. The mentality or the policy to help others during their problems is
another norm followed by the organization. The management of the group restricted the “mind
your own business” attitude among the employees by ensuring a helping hand for each and every
of the employees. Apart from this there were also other important elements like that of frequency
to a particular pub at lunch time, and gathered there in the evenings and at weekends. At the pub
they drank, talked, and played pool. The group made up the factory’s pool team in a local
competition.
Explain why these norms arose.
The following norms arose because of the different kinds of irregularities and
mismanagement in the group. First of all there was problems with the job operating system and
then were problems with the group culture where the workers were often engaged in the
discussion of girls, sex, pool and drinking. The members who were posted as sentries sang loudly
to warn the employees to warn them. This kind of problems prevented in the productivity of the
organization. This led to the rise of the norms in the group.
Discuss how useful these norms are for: a member, the group, the factory.

 The Member- The members started to become more productive and efficient in nature.
Apart from this they started to discuss positive tunes in the business organization.
 The Group- The group can help others and instil a sense of helpful attitude among the
other members of the team
 The Factory- The factory can turn more productive in nature and can deliver profitability
Discuss how cohesive this group is and who benefits or loses from this level of cohesiveness.
Groups generally differs in their cohesiveness. The degree to which the members are
attracted to each other and motivated to stay in the group can be also attributed to the
cohesiveness of the group. The direct impact on the productivity of the group makes
cohesiveness one of the most important elements of the business. The performance related norms
are directly involved in the cohesiveness of the business organization. The depth of the
cohesiveness of the organization ensures the better productivity of the business organization. The
following group that has been discussed can be said to be important in nature and the benefits of
the business can thus be achieved. The employees and the group members are the most profitable
whereas the group is the one who loses its importance.
What advice would you give to improve performance of the ‘water removing’ department?
It will be important for the business group to ensure a cohesive and friendly environment
in the workplace. The avoidance of unethical and unprofessional discussions must not be
encouraged and it can be removed by the addition of different kinds of extracurricular activities.
Apart from this, the organization can restrict the expenditure occurring from bad expenses and
must maintain a proper time and budget to ensure business success.
