Question

Jack is a 2nd level manager at Johnson Controls. His department includes 2 supervisors, 5 night shift security guards, 5 technical workers, 10 janitorial staff, and 25 manufacturing floor 2nd shift assembly workers. The United Auto Workers would like to represent the employees in this company. It has almost secured a sufficient number of authorization cards; all of them come from the assembly workers. The other employees have declined to sign. True or False: Managers who foster a cohesive culture among the non-management staff in order to increase team productivity could also be creating a dynamic that encourages individuals to vote for a union.

Explanation / Answer

true... Members of cohesive groups rely heavily on each other and resist external ideas and input. This can lead to isolation and a feeling of superiority over others in the organizations. As a result, cohesive groups find it difficult to change their values, actions or behaviors, particularly when the change is driven by external forces. In this case assembly worker felt feeling of negligence and decided to vote for union worker.
