The purpose of this research was to identify performance and determine the strategy for improving the performance of fish farmers groups in this area, which has excellent and dominant potential in freshwater aquaculture. There were about 131 fish farmers and 11 fish hatchery and rearing groups from this region's six research sample villages. The identification results of the fishbone diagram analysis showed that the fish farmer group's growth and development, in general, were still low, based on several dominant categories, namely infrastructure, fisheries extension performance, contribution performance, and the interests of fish farmers. In detail, the causes were: 1) insufficient facilities and infrastructure; 2) management in implementing fish farmers groups function has not run optimally; 3) the lack of fisheries extension workers; 4) the lack of contribution among group members; 5) relationship between fish farmers groups and local government institutions was still low; 6) fisheries activities were dominated by certain people; and 7) the interests of the fish farmers to form groups were still low. As the results of the SWOT analysis, the fish farmers group's performance development strategy was carried out by improving the performance of group roles and functions through mentoring and facilitating group activities.

Theories of social roles neglect social clusters. However, accounting for clusters is essential because individuals in social networks (e.g., social media) cannot oversee the whole network and have to restrict their interactions to local substructures. Roles that do not account for this cluster formation may lead to misinterpretations of the network’s dynamics and functions. This article proposes a theory of social roles in large social networks. We group roles detected in previous empirical studies into meta-roles and embed them along two dimensions, strategicness describing whether the person works towards a particular goal or not, and the type of strategy (selfish or group-oriented). We extend this framework by adding a cluster dimension describing to what extent a person’s interactions are embedded locally or globally in the network. We argue that empirical role analyses would benefit from our theory by systematically accounting for complex structures specific to the network perspective, generalising empirical findings beyond individual case studies, and understanding human interactions better.

One of the crucial factors determining the state and level of the organization in the market is the trust in the organization. The work aims to modify and improve the concept of trust in the organization by R. Shaw and to develop a methodology for identifying ideas about trust in the organization. Based on R. Shaw’s “Methodology for assessing the level of trust in the organization” and the three key imperatives of trust, 20 unfinished sentences were developed, each of which had to be completed with one or more words/phrases, based on the respondents’ perceptions and what is characteristic of them. Based on the results obtained at the first stage of the study, statements were developed that were included in the questionnaire. As a result of processing the obtained data through content analysis, the following components were identified in the structure of each imperative of trust: effectiveness, decency, caring for others. A methodology for identifying beliefs was developed and tested for reliability-consistency. In the modified concept of R. Shaw, the selected components can be correlated with three group roles that a successful leader should have: facilitator, mediator and moderator.
