Status and groups

About this book

"The authors in this volume consider both the role of status within groups and how the status of groups within their larger context affects members and group effectiveness. Consequently, the works presented here consider the relationship between the status of individuals and groups, the treatment they receive, and their participation within their immediate environment; the link between exhibited-behaviors and status conferral; and the emergence and effects of status rivalries within and across groups. This book will be of particular interest to those individuals committed to understanding the effects of status on individuals and the groups and organizations in which they are embedded."--BOOK JACKET.
