HOMANS MODEL OF SMALL GROUP BEHAVIOR

HOMANS MODEL OF SMALL GROUP BEHAVIOR

(i) Activities: Activities are those tasks that group members engage in. These include the behaviors and efforts of members both for performing the group tasks.

(ii) Interaction: Interactions are the face to face dealings among group members. These involve information exchange and include one’s verbal and non-verbal behavior towards another person.

(iii) Sentiments: Interaction are feelings, attitude, belief and values held by group members. They constitute the person’s inner state or the things the individual subjectively feels, believe or perceivers.

     The major element in Homans theory is interaction. Person in a group interact with one another to solve problems, attain goals, facilitate coordination, reduce tension, and achieve a balance.
