This chapter establishes the theoretical foundations underpinning the research, beginning with an in-depth examination of what constitutes 'social norms' in general as well as within the context of the workplace. It delves into the diverse types of social norms, such as descriptive, injunctive, and informal. The section also looks into group dynamics theories, discussing how group size, cohesion, and leadership styles shape the manifestation and impact of social norms. The theories and concepts will underpin all further research.
