Social Exchange Theory

Everyone is a member of an organization or group, but many people have to stop and think about the dynamics of the team, the role of the team, the function of the team. In this article, focusing on groups, social work clubs, apply the four theories of field theory, social exchange theory, learning theory, and psychoanalysis theory to make the group understand its function. The first theory we discuss in field theory is field theory. This theory focuses on how the groups work to achieve their goals and how they are influenced by the power of the environment.

Social exchange theory is a social psychology and sociological point of view that interprets social change and stability as a process of negotiation and exchange between parties. Social exchange theory believes that interpersonal relationships are formed through subjective cost benefit analysis and comparison of alternatives. The theory comes from economics, psychology and sociology. Social exchange theory has many major assumptions in rational choice theory and structuralism. It is often used in business circles to imply accidental and informative processes between bilateral countries, including transactions and simple interactions.

Social exchange theory considers exchange as social behavior that can lead to economic and social consequences. Social exchange theory is usually analyzed by comparing the interactions among people. Research on the theory from the point of view of microeconomics is by Blau. In his opinion, everyone is trying to maximize his victory. Browre stated that it is possible to observe social interaction anywhere, not only in market relationships but also in other social relations such as friendship, if this concept is understood. When people get fair profits from their costs, the social exchange process will bring satisfaction. The main difference between social exchange and economic exchange lies in the nature of the exchange between the parties. Neoclassical economic theory thinks that actors deal with markets and environmental parameters (such as market prices) rather than dealing with other actors.
