This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing work group formation in the Banana Time Case (8.1). In the Banana Time Case, the narrator of the case considers the relationships and conversations between his co-workers as meaningless until he starts participating and realizing the social interactions which are taking place. A group cohesiveness has formed among the work group which would considered strong because of several essential characteristics which are vital in the formation of groups: an informal leader had emerge in George which has a paternal relationship with Sammy and Ike; norms and routines have also been established which allow for a bond between the workers and separates them from other work groups and provides a secure environment; each member has a role within the group which is not upset by the introduction of a new worker; the group is physically removed from other groups in the organization which provides for better cohesiveness; and, the mentoring aspect is kept low key in order to avoid jealousy regarding any new relationships which may be formed between the leader and the new worker. These aspects among other characteristics have made the group in the Banana Time case a good example of an informal, collective, socially interactive and additive group as well as being part of a larger conjunctive group.
