QUESTION

Which of the following statements is true in relation to task functions?

a. When task functions predominate, member satisfaction increases.
b. When maintenance functions predominate, goals are achieved.
c. They are behaviors used to move toward goal achievement.
d. They are behaviors designed to ensure personal satisfaction.

ANSWER:

ANS: C
Functional roles differ from positional roles group members assume in that they are related to the type of member contributions needed to achieve group goals. Constructive role functions are the behaviors members use to move toward goal achievement (task functions) and behaviors designed to ensure personal satisfaction (maintenance functions). When task functions predominate, member satisfaction decreases. When maintenance functions override task functions, members have trouble reaching goals.
