Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with.

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social Loafing

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group.

Impact of Groups on Individuals

Groups play a fundamental role in shaping individual behavior, as they establish norms that guide interactions and decision-making. Social psychology examines how individuals conform to group expectations, often adjusting their attitudes and actions to align with group norms. These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Behavior
  • Social Network Analysis
  • Team Dynamics

Background:

  • Shared leadership involves both leadership and follower roles, but factors enabling these roles are under-explored.
  • Formal leaders' influence on shared leadership and followership is not well understood.
  • Existing research lacks a social network perspective on leadership and followership tie formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors enabling team members to adopt complementary leadership and follower roles.
  • To examine the influence of individual political skill and formal leaders' empowering leadership on role adoption.
  • To apply a social network perspective to understand leadership and followership tie formation.

Main Methods:

  • Social network analysis was employed to map leadership and followership ties.
  • Implicit leadership and followership theories guided the network analysis.
  • Data collected from a Research and Development (R&D) department with 305 leadership ties.

Main Results:

  • Political skill positively influences the adoption of leadership roles.
  • Empowering leadership by formal leaders facilitates the adoption of follower roles.
  • Both political skill and empowering leadership are crucial for balanced role enactment in shared leadership.

Conclusions:

  • Team members' political skill and leaders' empowering behaviors are key enablers of shared leadership and followership.
  • A social network perspective provides valuable insights into the formation of leadership and followership ties.
  • Future research should further explore the interplay between individual attributes and leadership styles in team functioning.
