A group norm is a social norm or a plurality of such norms. Elements of the norm can be quantifiable ( workload ) (mostly they are not); they can be stated explicitly or tacitly (" unwritten law ").
A group standard can promote the conformity (agreement) of a person with the standards of a group . Conformity can be rooted in the inner need for integration through assimilation , or in conformity pressure from the reference group .
Groups can be, for example: working group , team , committee or quality circle ; Club , friendship group, clique.
Group norms can influence communication in the organization .
Group norms are the subject matter and research subject of sociology and psychology (especially social psychology ).
