INDIVIDUAL, GROUP AND TEAM BEHAVIOUR 
256 D 
Role conflict refers to the situation when there is a clash between the roles, such as the role 
of the employee and role of good auditor. 
257 B 
Role signs are visible indications of a role, such as styles of dress. Note that ‘role definition’ 
is not a key term in role theory. 
258 B 
Assertive behaviour involves direct, honest and professional communication. It is aggressive 
behaviour that violates another person’s rights and often leads to additional conflict. 
259 A 
Teams tend to be slower at making decisions than individuals, as there are more people 
involved in the decision-making process. This also means that decisions are often 
compromises when made in teams. However, the involvement of more people in the 
decision making process means that teams have better control – there are a number of 
people to review the decisions being made. 
260 D 
Remember that teams are formal groups. They will be committed to achieving certain 
targets or objectives. The employees in the scenario are meeting informally for social 
reasons and are unlikely to be formally committed to the group. Note that options B and C 
could apply to either groups or teams.
261 A 
The other six roles are Monitor-evaluator; Resource investigator; Company worker; Team 
worker; Finisher and Expert.
