Members
An individual who helps the group to reach its goal will play
task oriented role and an employee who is supportive plays

Sub roles
The above roles are expected roles, which a group
member is expected to play.
The perceived role, is concerned with behaviours in
the group that an individual believes he or she
should be doing.
The enacted role is the way an individual actually
behaves.

resource consumption and utilization, communication,
member satisfaction and character of group membership.
