Discuss the below in detail:
1. In a group setting, describe your required and emergent behaviors. Provide an example for each.
2. Is social loafing always unethical? Why or why not? Social loafing has been found to be higher in Western, more individualist, nations than in other countries. Do you think this means we should tolerate shirking on the part of U.S. students and workers to a greater degree than if it occurred with someone from Asia? Explain.
3-How would you respond in a work situation in which you are told an unethical action is the norm for the industry or business? Provide the example and explain.
4. In your own words describe examples of (a) task activities, (b) maintenance activities, and (c) dysfunctional activities that you have encountered in your group experiences at school or work.
5. One of your Facebook friends has posted this note.
"Help! I have just been assigned to head a new product design team at my company. The division manager has high expectations for the team and for myself, but I have been a technical design engineer for 4 years since graduating from college. I have never managed anyone, let alone led a team. The manager keeps talking about her confidence that I will be very good at creating lots of teamwork. Does anyone out there have any tips to help me master this challenge? Help!"
Formulate your recommendations and explain what are the three key things you will advise her to do, and why those three first?
6. We often think of unethical behavior as individual behavior. However, in many cases, unethical behavior is a team effort. The Enron, Adelphia, and WorldCom corporate scandals were brewed by members of the top management teams in these organizations. The BP oil disaster implicated several teams that failed to ensure construction and safety guidelines were followed.
Do these examples show that team unethical behavior is limited to top management teams, or can it also occur with "ordinary" work teams? Explain.
