Question

Accepted Answer

D. To stay in the group and resist outside influences

2. It is the degree to which members want to stay in the group and tend to resist outside influences such as a change in company policies.
3. Deference to a senior member, equal division of work, and shared rewards describe other group practices.
4. Group-based rewards do raise cohesiveness, but they are a cause of it rather than its definition.
