Explanation of Skit
Ryan was on-site manager, initiator, information giver, clarifier, coordinator
Josh was the homeowner, playing the devil’s advocate and maintenance role of supporter and encourager
Informal Roles According To Text
Emerges from group transactions, emphasizes function, not positions
Sub categories include task roles, maintenance roles, disruptive roles
Informal Role in class
Susanne= Initiator, started group email Christa= information seeker, gets
information from CIC about Habitat Cesia= coordinator, arranges work with
Habitat Ryan= clarifier, figures out habitats
schedules Josh= harmonizer, keeps tension low
Group Size according to text Size of a group influences the structure
and function of a group
Increase in group size increases group complexity, non participants, and decreases level of cooperation, level of satisfaction, and ability to perform task effectively
Negative Impact Of Group Size
20-25 people working on two homes
Not enough leaders created information disorder
Standing around waiting for assignments
Redoing projects that were just completed
Positive Effect With Group Size
Cesia and Ryan on electrical- two was ideal
Eight people reduced to four people on the deck, Christa and Susanne had four as ideal
Cesia And Ryan On Electrical
Josh On Back Deck
Christa And Susanne On Front Deck
Group Size In Class
Complexity was an issue because of schedules
Email became ideal source of communication
Division of tasks to increase effectiveness
Synergy according to text Occurs when group performance from
joining action of members exceeds expectations based on perceived abilities and skills of individual members
Occurs through cooperation and group diversity
Synergy within Habitat
Positive synergy: all of the volunteers creating something they couldn’t alone … a house
Group diversity evident with differences in skill, age, and experience
Synergy in class group
No one wanted to take charge
Susanne sent an email to outline tasks causing a ripple effect
This allowed for group action to start
Conclusion Interconnectedness with Habitat was
satisfying Directly helped those receiving families and
saw their gratitude Class discussions became real life
experiences Experienced synergy, group size, and task
roles Goal is to positively communicate in future
