Effects of a Poor Working Environment

In major world economies, the upsurge in Gross Domestic Product is attributed to among other things the increase in reap off by its companies, improvement in income earning per capita and successful collection of taxes by revenue authorities. The development could also be as a result of prevailing job opportunities within both the public and private sectors. With much money available to citizen, some would easily generate start-up capital to oil-up their new ventures. A performing economy would imply reduction in criminal activities and improvement in living standard to all.

However in a bid for a company to zero in more income as opposed to expenditure, conducive working environment ought to be created for the workers. This encompasses allocating duties proportionately to all, providing equal incentives like pay hikes without bias and allowing all to participate in decision making. Letting employees work under tensed environment could lead to lack of peace within a working environment. This at times yields to emergence of camps based either on tribal line, education background, political or individual differences.

According to research, tension at work place could be occasioned by dreaded managers. They instill fear among employees by constantly giving unreasonable deadlines and rebuking those who are not compliant. Such a situation leaves an employee hating his/her work place hence the infiltration of attitude. Absence of peace has demerits, it leads to two camps within an organization, one classified as sycophants while the other as rebels.

Groupings is not healthy for the prosperity of a company since in most cases it succumbs to vices like sabotage, mistrust, back stabbing, wastage of time in plotting and decrease in production level. In situations like in company meetings, the discontented group would opt to be economical with ideas. Ganging up into specified sub-groups is not healthy for a company, the cold relationship could in some cases lead to lack of team work.

Lead management consultants argue that the genesis of such sub-groupings is as a result of special treatment given to some employees and discrimination by employers. It could also be as a result of promotion based on no merit, unclear hiring criteria and to employers who don't incorporate other employees ideas. The unhealthy anomaly could be corrected by making all the employees have a sense of belonging and feel respected. It includes being open to employees, involving all in decision making and orientation not limited to organizing retreats to recap performance.
