ESSAY
1. Identify the stages of group development in Tuckman’s 5-stage model, and briefly discuss the
differences between the 5-stage model and Gersick’s punctuated equilibrium model.
ANS:
Tuckman’s 5-stage model suggests groups progress through five stages of development, which include
forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Groups evolve through the stages in a
sequential fashion with predictable behaviors associated with each stage. Gersick’s model suggests the
5-stage model may be unrealistic. Gersick proposes that groups do not necessarily progress linearly
from one step to another in a predetermined sequence, but alternate between periods of inertia and
bursts of energy as work groups develop.
PTS: 1 REF: p. 320

2. What factors of a group work situation affect cohesiveness?
ANS:
Numerous factors can positively and negatively influence cohesiveness; some of these are size or
number of employees, length of time for task accomplishment and length of time the group is together,
external pressures, organization, location and prestige of the group, group norms, internal competitive
behavior, and closeness of supervision. Large groups (more than 25 to 30 employees) may inhibit the
development of cohesiveness. The longer the time period for group development, the greater the
cohesiveness. External pressures (in the form of close supervision) could accelerate development of
cohesion. The higher the prestige, the more likely cohesiveness will develop. Strong group norms also
increase cohesiveness. However, internal competitive behavior may hinder cohesiveness.
PTS: 1 REF: pp. 323-324

Test Bank for Organizational Behavior Science The Real World and You 8th Edition by Nelson
3. Distinguish between and provide examples of task and maintenance functions of groups.
ANS:
Task functions related to getting the job done, the problem solved, and/or evaluating results. Seeking
and distributing information, assembling and coordinating resources, diagnosing the problem,
assigning personnel, and controlling work activities are task functions. Maintenance functions involve
keeping the group operating in positive ways and retaining individuals or group members. Mutual
support, tension reduction, conflict resolution, and enforcing group norms are maintenance functions.
PTS: 1 REF: p. 326

4. Identify and briefly discuss the four distinguishing characteristics of a mature (well-functioning)
group.
ANS:
The distinguishing characteristics includes (1) a clear purpose and mission, (2) well-understood norms
and standards of conduct, (3) a high level of group cohesion, and (4) a flexible status structure. Stating
the purpose in terms specific goals enhances productivity over and above any performance benefits
achieved through individual goal setting. Behavioral norms for high performance and productivity set
above organizational norms characterizes high performing work groups. Smaller groups tend to be
more cohesive than large groups, and cohesion based on attraction results in effective control over
members with respect to important performance norms. Successful resolution of authority issues
within a group result in a well understood status structure. This contributes to group functioning.
PTS: 1 REF: pp. 322-325

5. Assume you have been selected to serve on a quality team of students to assess teaching performance
in your college. What aspects of teaching and the instructional environment might your team examine?
ANS:
In terms of the instructional environment, you could study course and class scheduling, the mix of
courses (required vs. elective), class size, educational technology (computer, labs, etc.) length of class
periods, course registration procedures, classroom seating arrangements, and physical accessibility for
disabled students. Teaching performance can be assessed by direct observation, pre- and post-course
testing procedures, and through student opinion surveys of teaching effectiveness. Grading procedures,
types of tests and other course requirements, instructor preparedness, instructor availability for
individual assistance, and numerous other aspects of course instruction could be examined.
