The office can be very demanding on the lives of the workers. Stress can build up and explode into problems. This can seriously influence the productivity and efficiency of a business. The problems that upset an office can vary drastically depending on the nature of the employees or even the employers. Employees may feel that they are being overworked or underpaid. They may also feel that this signals the loss of appreciation on their work, causing increasing tension as they complain about work. They may also have personality differences which can cause conflict. This can be seen in offices where too close relationships develop. People in authority may tend to place more value on these relationships than on the work itself. They may have lost sight of the goal of forwarding the development of the company. Gossiping about co-workers and the company is a frequent example of this. Gossipers undermine the efforts of everyone as they spread discontent. Leaders may also focus too much attention on competition, and not enough on teamwork. If these problems have occurred, then it is the responsibility of everyone to acknowledge them and try to solve them. If this does not happen, then the leadership must take steps to avoid it. This is a part of the process of self-improvement that all companies need to integrate. Frequent evaluations of leadership skills and teamwork ability would help to limit these problems.

辦公室工作可能會(huì)給員工生活帶來麻煩。壓力可能積蓄并爆發(fā)出問題。這可能嚴(yán)重影響公司的生產(chǎn)力和效率。困擾辦公室的問題可能大不相同，具體取決于雇員甚至是雇主的特點(diǎn)。員工可能覺得自己工作量大而得到的報(bào)酬卻很低。他們也可能感覺這表明沒有人欣賞他們的工作，而這會(huì)在他們抱怨工作時(shí)導(dǎo)致更緊張的情緒。他們所具有的個(gè)性差異也可能會(huì)引起沖突。這可以在有過于私密關(guān)系存在的辦公室里看到。當(dāng)權(quán)者很可能更傾向于看重這些關(guān)系而不是工作本身。他們可能會(huì)忽視推動(dòng)公司發(fā)展的目標(biāo)。對(duì)同事和公司說三道四就是常見的例子。說閑話者在傳遞不滿情緒時(shí)會(huì)破壞每個(gè)人的努力。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)也可能過于關(guān)注競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，而不夠注重團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作。如果發(fā)生這些問題，每個(gè)人都有責(zé)任去了解并嘗試解決問題。如果沒有出現(xiàn)這種情況，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)就應(yīng)該采取措施避免其發(fā)生。這是所有公司都需要整合的自我完善過程的一部分。經(jīng)常對(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技能和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作能力進(jìn)行評(píng)估將有助于避免這些問題發(fā)生。
