IN any organization individual cannot implement their own personal ethics in the organization but it is the work group whose collectively behavior affect the organization .Some activities of work group are ethical and some of them are unethical but only ethical activities of the work group are permitted.
There are several different types of generally understood norms. They are as under
Performance norms
This norm guide centered on how hard a person should work in a given group.
Appearance norms

Employee as an Individually, they have their own separate traits, but once they have to work in a group, they exhibit different behaviors based on the group norms. So on particular situation employee should behave as per the norms If the norms of the work group are strict and thee do not permit to behave randomly then the performance of the employee will be considered as more ethical . as against to these if the employee do not perform as per norms it will be considered as unethical and these type of unethical behavior of the group will affect the organization
conflict occurs when there is inconsistency between the organization goal and the group activity. norms can develop on their own, especially if team members have prior experience working on successful teams. However, without explicit direction dysfunctional norms such as aversion to new ideas or conflict avoidance may hold.
So if such types of norms are there are like do not implement new idea in the work group or prohibit behavior and are typically issued by someone with the authority
People might agree or disagree with a rule, but they generally are not free to ignore them
In total we can say that such type of norms affect the organization adversely so norms should be reasonable and flexible that people act in accordance with norms, their behavior can become predictable and provide stability to the team
