PRIMARY GROUP SECONDARY GROUP What is It What is a Social Group? A social group is two or more people who identify with and engage with each other (Macionis 2012). As an individual, you may be a member of a religious group, an ethnic group, a working colleague group, a college class, a sports team, and so on. These are also referred to as social groups. A social group is distinct from an aggregate, which consists of people who are temporarily grouped together in an area, perhaps even performing the same things, but do not consider themselves to be members of the same group. For example, being in a busy shop or waiting in line for a movie does not make you feel like you belong with the people doing the same thing. A category and a group are not the same thing. You may share comparable qualities, such as age or height, yet you may not interact or experience a feeling of belonging if you are in the same category as someone. TYPES OF GROUPS ACCORDING TO INFLUENCE: Primary and Secondary Groups The difference between primary and secondary groups lies in the kinds of relationships their members have with one another. Primary groups involve interaction among members who have an emotional investment or attachment in one another and a situation, who know one another intimately and interact as total individuals rather than through specialized roles. They are smaller in number and occur over a long time. Examples of relationships under the primary group are between friends, husband and wife, parent and child, and teacher and pupil. On the other hand, sample groups under primary groups include playgroup, family, village/neighborhood, and work team. Secondary groups usually have specific goals, are formally organized, and are impersonal. They tend to be larger than the primary group, and its members do not necessarily interact with all other members. Examples of relationships under the secondary group are between clerk and customer, announcer and listener, performer and spectator, and officer and subordinate. On the other hand, sample groups under the second group include nation, clerical hierarchy, professional association, and corporation. IN-GROUPS OUT-GROUPS is a social group TYPES OF is a social group to which a GROUPS with which an person ACCORDING TO individual does psychologically MEMBERSHIP not identify identifies as being a member. Reference Groups A reference group is a group or social category that an individual uses to help define beliefs, attitudes, and values and to guide behaviour. It is often a category we identify with, rather than a specific group we belong to. In addition, they provide a comparison against which people measure themselves and others.  Positive reference groups are composed of people we want to emulate. Negative reference groups, on the other hand, provide a model we do not wish to follow. Types of Reference Groups A normative reference group influences your norms, attitudes, and values through direct interaction. A comparative reference group is a group of individuals whom you compare yourself against and may strive to be like. Examples: NORMATIVE teacher siblings friends COMPARATIVEE celebrities heroes Social Network A social network is a sociological concept that refers to the social relationships that exist between network parts and individuals. In an organization, network elements can include social groups or teams, organizational units, or entire organizations. Social Network in practice: All our functions at work and in private take place in some social networks. Every social network is about relations that include social interaction and social communication. We can easily describe, map, and analyze social networks through social network analysis and sociometry. The basic types of social networks in the organization are formal organizational structure, and informal organizational structure. The social network in the organization forms an informal organizational structure. Its influence on the events and decision-making in the organization is greater in less authoritative management styles and types of the organizations. Often in practice, the informal organizational structure is more influential on what is happening in the organization than the formal organizational structure.  What’s More A.
