Group Processes

My assessment My managers Guide

Is it a group? Why?

• You an excellent writer-clear and focused; after this chapter,

please use short phrases vs

entire, whole sentences, so it

remains “to the point”

(because you have so many

elements to define/exemplify).

• IDEA—paste your reasons/definitions (green) in

THIS column, so you tally all

the assessment(s) in this

column, to show your rationale

for this particular item—is it a

group, why?

• After definition, and when you’ve done all the details

below, RETURN to this first

row/and summarize why it is a

Group or TEAM, using

specific elements …in other

words, answer “Why” with the

evidence/elements you identify

in your soccer team :

In this Document I will be looking at

my soccer team and determining if we

are a “Group”. I do not currently work

and have very little work experience

however I feel a lot of the concepts

that are discussed in the book can also

been seen in team sports. We are still

a group who all share the same goal.

Much like any other work team and I

am part of a soccer team.

Chapter 1 discusses how groups are

identified. They claim a group is “two

or more individuals who are

connected by and within social

relationships”. Therefore, I feel my

soccer team fits this description very

well.

TYPE

Kindly BOLD the element so (on my

end) I can see it more quickly—I’m

grading 60 group assessments, plus

YOU will be able to see that you have

addressed every element, before you

“quality check” before saving as

PDF

Add definition for Secondary group

here

My group type is a secondary group

of 30 student athletes who train and

study together (do all 30 actually

study together every day? Study what,

when?) every day in order to achieve

a common goal.

I actually found it very (word

missing—e.g. interesting, informative

??)to place my group as we share

characteristics of both primary groups

and secondary groups. I ended up

going with secondary as the book

states “Their boundaries are also more

permeable, so members can leave old

groups behind and join new ones, for

they do not demand the level of

commitment that primary groups do”.

Although being a part of a soccer

team does require the commitment of

a primary group the fact that players

to tend to come and go (explain how

or when, do they come and go every

week, during the season, because they

become ineligible or because coaches

dismiss them, or what?—I never

realized this about our college

teams…_) made me decide that it

was more a secondary group.

Being able to identify the different

types of groups and understanding

how the individuals interact with each

other in them will allow me to

determine how to speak and approach

people depending on what group I am

with that individual. For example, I

know in my primary group I can be

very straight forward and express

things openly because we all have the

same goal and willingness to achieve

whereas if I can only identify with

someone on a “categories” level I will

have to change my approach as I do

not understand that individual very

well and therefore must take a more

cautious approach.

Max Voelker B2654521

Composition –add definition for

Composition here

Bolded here because it emphasizes the

fundamental requirement for being a

group vs collective or crown.

So when we get to Norms, roles (Ch

6) and leadership ( ch 9) you can refer

back to this section, or simply cut and

paste it again, perhaps with a few

more specifics (you’ll assess different

group roles and your own, and what

you speculate to be your coach’s

leadership style

In chapter 1 the book discusses the

adventure expedition team on Mt.

Everest. I feel this is very similar to

my soccer. Although it is not as

extreme as climbing Mt. Everest every

individual in our group has their own specific talents, weaknesses,

attitudes, values, and personality

trait. That is why we have positions

in soccer. One individual is a better

keep than he is outfield player and

therefore he plays in goal, one is a

better defender than attacker and

therefore he plays defines etc. just

like the group that climbed Everest

every player in our team each part

defines the whole team. We are quite

lucky in our group we all want the

same goal. We aim to go to the

nationals and all want to become

better soccer players so we can

continue to play in the future. By

having this same or similar goal it

allows us to focus and really push one

another at becoming the best possible

versions of themselves. However it

could not be done without our

manager and captain. The easiest

thing a person can do in life can quit.

When you are being pushed it is really

easy to want to give up, but our

manager and coach are really good

at making sure that motivation stays

high so no reaches that point.

This section made me realise how

important it is to have different roles

withing a group. Just like the group

that climbed Everest they needed

everyone’s expertise in order to

succeed. this showed me that in order

to have a successful group it is

important to identify leaders and to

identify the strengths and weaknesses

of each individual in a group. Without

this structure it will be very difficult

for a group to succeed as there is no

direction and you are likely to see

people give up.

Max Voelker B2654521

Origin My soccer team falls into the planned

group category “deliberately formed

by its members or an external

authority for some purpose”. Our

group was formed by our head coach

as he was the individual who picked

the players. We are very organized

and task based. We have practice

everyday at 7 am with the expectation

that everyone will arrive on time and

give their maximum effort so we can

prepare for games on the weekend.

Our membership criteria is defined

clearly. We must come to practice on

time, follow the rules that have been

set by our coach, focus on classes and

present the program in the best way

possible. If we do not follow these

rules, we are no longer a part of the

team and therefore no longer

members. We have captain and vice

captains who are responsible for

relaying the information to the rest of

the team. They are in theory the

players “managers” if someone

doesn’t show up to a meeting it is

their fault because that is their main

job to keep everyone up to date with

what is happening.

I believe learning about the different

types of Origin groups was very

beneficial because it gives me or a

manager an idea of how to classify

groups. The manager may set up a

formal group that is set a task but

amongst that group a subgroup or

emergent group may form. If a

manager is able to identify this

emergent group he may be able to

create a more productive group in the

future because he recognises that they

work well together or he will be able

to split it up as they are unproductive.

EXCELLENT INSIGHT, MAX!!

Max Voelker B2654521

Boundaries define, (I won’t keep

repeating this, you get the suggestion )

My soccer team is very much a closed

group. Once the squad is decided for

the season no one can be added to it.

I feel this has many benefits. People

are given the chance to meet and get a

really good understanding of their

peers. This means when they work

together, they know how to motivate

them and the group becomes very

cohesive in a very short period of

time. It also allows us to identify who

the leaders are and who we can reply

on to ask for help.

the relationship that link members to one

another define who is in the group who is

not. A group is boundaried in a

psychological sense those who are in a

group are considered members and those

who are not part of the group are

outsiders.

I found it very important to learn about

Open and closed groups. Having an open

group means that members can come and

go as the please with no consequences.

Whereas closed groups are the

membership roster changes more slowly.

From the reading I would say that having

closed group is much more effective for a

business setting as people have a better

understanding of each other and will act

more as a group therefore being more

productive. In addition, closed group are

more cohesive therefore they will be more

likely and willing to work together in the

future

Max Voelker B2654521

Size I consider our group quite big with 30

players in it. This means there are a lot

of “social ties” in our group. The book

gives us the calculation to determine

how many social ties are needed to

connect all members. N(N-1)/2. This

means for our group of 30 we would

have 30(30-1)/2 = 435. After reading

the chapter it became very apparent

this in fact a group of 30 is still

considered rather small. The book

claims that once a group reaches over

150 it is difficult for all members to

connect. Therefore, I believe it is safe

to say that our group of 30 still makes

it very easy.

I believe we have no “sub-Groups” in

our group as everyone is connecting

on a regular basis and when we meet

we always meet as a team. This means

everyone is present at every meeting

and everyone is given the opportunity

to express themselves if they feel they

have to.

Gaining an understanding about group

sizes was very beneficial for me. I

have always been a strong believer

that smaller groups tend to work better

as it people tend to feel safer and

speak up more when they are

surrounded by people they know and

feel comfortable with. The textbook

and group dynamics video 1 A also

confirmed this. One thing I found

really interesting that was mentioned

in the video is that, when the number

of people in a group increase the

number of people who speak tend to

fall. In the example that is provided he

states that in a 8 person group the

main speaker ends up speaking about

45% of the time whereas the next only

speaks around 15% of the time. I

found gaining this knowledge helpful

as I believe for a group to be

successful most if not everyone must

express their opinion. This allows a

group to gain more knowledge from

everyone so people can see and

understand why people take different

approaches. But the evidence

suggests that the more people you

add to a group the more

authoritarian a group leader

becomes.

Interdependence

Max Voelker B2654521

Formative Process: Inclusion and identity I also completed the following self-

assessment that determined whether I

was a individualist or a collectivist.

From my answers I was able to

determine that I was a collectivist.

This mean I put the groups interests

and goals above my personal interests.

I feel this would be very mutual

amongst our group as we all make

sacrifices in some way to make sure

we are going to succeed.
