You are working at a graphic firm. Your team is working on an important project and your team leader asks you to stay late to me
et a deadline. Since you normally get home at 5 p.m. from work, you previously agreed to take a neighbor to an important appointment at 6:30 p.m. What should you do?
I am working at a graphic firm and a project needs to completed that me and my team members are working on. As a need of the project I have to stay late at my office to after work to met the deadlines. So it is my responsibility to work late and deliver the project in time.
But I have also promised my neighbor to take him to an important appointment that day at 6:30 p.m., which is also important to me as I have promised him and the appointment is important.
In this situation, I will see and try to find a friend of mine who knows my neighbor so that he can take my neighbor to the appointment as scheduled whereas I can stay late at office and complete my project long with the other team members.
From the given case/scenario we can state that this an example of role fixation. Role fixation is known as or referred to as acting out or portrayal of specific role and thus the role alone irrespective of what the circumstance or situation might ask or require. Role fixation under a decision making group can tend to occur or take place when an individual will move from a group to another.
