What will be an ideal response?
Norms are standards of behavior shared by the group members. Cohesiveness refers to the extent to which group members are motivated to be together. In general, as the cohesiveness of a work group increases, the level of conformity to group norms also increases. However, these norms may be inconsistent with those of the organization, which affects the achievement of group goals.
