Assimilating New Staff With Old Staff: Group Theory
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Assimilating new and fresh into old and established has long been a difficult maneuver for people, inasmuch as human beings are habitual by nature and thrive upon routine; when something or someone different is brought into the mix, it disrupts the collective flow the existing group has already achieved. This concept is particularly pertinent to work situations where new staff often finds it difficult to assimilate into a department where an established group of workers has already formed a cohesive unit. Employing group theory to this situation allows one to better understand the dynamics of team mentality and why it can be an arduous process to break down the barriers inherent to established groups.
