QUESTION 1


1.1. Briefly discuss the field theory and its applicability in group work (08)

Field theory, developed by Kurt Lewin, is a psychological framework that looks at
human behavior as the result of the totality of influences around a person. According to
this theory, an individual's behavior is not just the outcome of their personality or
character but is shaped by a range of dynamic factors in their environment, which Lewin
referred to as the "field." In group work, field theory is useful because it helps us
understand how the group's environment and members influence each other.


For example, in a group setting, the behavior of one member can impact others,
creating a ripple effect throughout the group. This could be seen in how a positive
attitude or strong commitment from one member might motivate others to also
participate more actively. Similarly, if a member is disengaged or disruptive, it might
cause tension and affect the group's overall morale. By understanding these dynamics,
group leaders can better manage interactions and foster a more productive and
supportive group environment.


1.2. When does authoritarian leadership style become relevant for group work?
(06)

An authoritarian leadership style becomes relevant in group work when there is a need
for quick decision-making, clear direction, and strict adherence to rules or procedures.
This style is characterized by a leader making decisions independently, without much
input from group members, and expecting members to follow orders without question.
While this approach might seem rigid, it can be very effective in situations where there
is a crisis, high-pressure deadlines, or when the group lacks experience and needs
clear guidance to stay on track.
