(2) Respect
This does not mean that employees should always place the interests of others before their own. It means that they should occasionally step back and try to understand the position or stance of other colleagues from their behavior or requests. In doing this, they may find that they share common interests with other members of staff.
(3) Cooperation and Communication
Employees may not be able to get along with every single person in their office. They might find it difficult to be sociable with certain members of staff or there may even be a few colleagues whom they simply don't like. It might prove impossible for them to ever come to like these people. Regardless of the circumstances, however, staff must make every effort to cooperate and communicate with all members of staff if the functions of the organization are to be accomplished.
(4) Expect No Favors
When an employee helps another colleague, quite often they think that their colleague should help them in return if and when they have trouble in the future. The reason why they offered their colleague help to begin with, however, should have been for the sake of an organizational goal and not as a personal favor to this member of staff. If their help really deserves a degree of remuneration, they may expect something in return from their organization in reward for their contribution to accomplishing the organizational goals.
(5) Clearly Defined Limits for Personal Relations
Personal relations between office staff should be within the framework of reaching organizational targets. They should not expect the same level of friendly relationships as the ones they have with family or personal friends. If personal friendships are developed in the office, the resulting atmosphere will be reconciliatory or lukewarm and this may diminish the vitality towards attaining the organizational goals.
