Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a perspective that focuses on the functions of task groups in organizational settings while most research on small groups emphasizes individual behavior. In this approach, the group is viewed as an environment that shapes individual attitudes, decisions, and attributions. The author argues for a shift in focus from individuals within groups to groups within organizational contexts, examining how the external environment constrains and influences group behavior, as well as the proactive steps groups take to adapt to and control that environment. The author draws from organizational level theories such as resource dependence, strategic management, adaptation, and population ecology to explore the relationship between groups and their environment. This insightful book provides a new framework for understanding group dynamics, emphasizing the importance of considering the external context in which groups operate.
