II. Background Information for Learners
Positive interactions in the workplace have been shown to improve job
satisfaction and positively influence staff turnover as employees who experience
support from colleagues are more likely to remain in an organization long term
(Hodson, 2014; Moynihan and Pandey, 2008).
A workplace has a big role in many people’s lives. Average number of
persons spending more time at work than any other daily activities, it is
important that workers within organization feel connected, comfortable, and
supported by co-workers, subordinates, and leaders. Indeed, the primary
contributor to workplace stressor is the psychosocial hazards related to the
culture within organization, such as poor interpersonal relations and lack of
policies and practices related to respect for workers (Stoewen, 2016). Prolong
exposure to these psychosocial hazards will increased psychiatric and
physiological health problems, positive social relationships among employees are
how work gets done.
Quarter 3, Week 7

5. Benefits of Social Interaction at Work
1. Social interaction is essential in the well-being of every person, which in turn
has a positive impact on workers engagement. Organizations with higher
levels of engagement indicate lower business costs, improved performance
output, minimize absences of workers, and less safety incidents (Gallup,
2015).
2. Social interaction can lead to sharing of knowledge and productivity from
trained to untrained workers.
3. Employees who are satisfied and comfortable with the quality of their
workers relationships are more attached to the organization.
4. A lack of social interaction in the workplace can have potentially negative
consequences in relation to social support. Studies shown that sense of
isolation because of lack of social support can result to cardiovascular
disease, increased risk of depression and shorten lifespan (Holt-Lunstad et
al., 2015; Cacioppo et al., 2011; and Mushtaq et al., 2014).
5. Strong ‘within-group’ ties with co-workers provide opportunities to facilitate
innovative thinking.
6. Social interactions in the workplace have been found to increase self-reported
positive feelings at the end of the day.
7. Repeated positive social interactions can result to greater shared experiences
and the gradual development of more trusting relationships.
8. The information collated through social interaction can help a team
collectively improve its performance and the precision of its estimates (Jayles
et al., 2017).
9. Social interaction and positive relationships are important for various
attitudinal, well-being, and performance-related outcomes. Basford and
Offermann (2012) found that employees in both low and high levels of
motivation when interpersonal relationships with co-workers were good.
How to Foster Employee Interaction in the Workplace
According to the Society for Human Resource Management’s 2016
Employee Job Satisfaction and Employee Report (SHRM, 2016), relationships
with co-workers was deemed the number one contributor to employee
engagement, with 77% of respondents listing workplace connections as a
priority.
Therefore, leaders and managers are responsible to find ways to promote
positive relationship in the workplace. In doing so, organizations are better able
to adopt a more relationship-centric outlook wherein the fostering of positive
employee interactions becomes a goal.
In general, maximizing engagement levels can be boiled down to two key
concepts: the removal of barriers between workers that currently hindrance the

6. social interactions in the workplace, and creating opportunities for employees to
engage or interact with each other. These outcomes can be achieved in several
ways, and while not all approaches are suitable for all organization types, the
concepts hold true.
Effectively Mediate Conflicts
Both employees and employers require meaningful relationships with each
other’s in the workplace, and yet these needs may be impeded by
counterproductive and destructive workplace practices (Bolden and Gosling,
2006).
Organizational leaders should make attempts to minimize negative
interactions between employees by proactive mediating and resolving conflicts as
early as possible and building a culture of open communication that fosters
trust and relationship building.
Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and
Accomplishments (PERMA Model)
PERMA model was designed by American Psychologist and educator
Martin Seligman that represents the five core elements of happiness and well-
being. PERMA model highlights these five elements which business leaders can
adopt to promote a positive culture that encourages belongings.
The five elements of PERMA model:
1. Positive emotions
2. Engagement
3. Positive relationships
4. Meaning
5. Achievements/ Accomplishment
Waste Materials Management
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal
and monitoring of waste materials. There are three steps necessary to properly
manage waste: identify wastes, evaluate wastes, and manage wastes.
Methods of Disposal
Landfills
The most popular or traditional method of disposing waste is throwing in
the landfills. This process of waste disposal focuses attention on burying waste in
the land.

7. This method is becoming less these days although, thanks to the lack of
space available and the strong presence of methane and other landfill gases, both
of which can cause numerous contamination problems. Landfills give rise to air
and water pollution which severely affects the environment and can prove fatal to
the lives of humans and animals. Many areas are reconsidering the use of
landfills.
Incineration/ Combustion
Incineration or combustion is a disposal method in which solid wastes are burned at
high temperatures to convert them into residue and gaseous products. The biggest advantage
of this type of method is that it can reduce the volume of solid waste to 20 to 30 percent of
the original volume, decreases the space they take up and reduce the stress on landfills. This
process is also known as thermal treatment where solid waste materials are converted by
incinerators into heat, gas, steam, and ash.
Recycling
Recycling is the process of converting waste products into new ones to prevent
energy usage and consumption of fresh raw materials. Recycling is the third component of
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle waste hierarchy.
Plasma gasification
Plasma gasification is another form of waste management. Plasma is a primarily an
electrically charged or a highly ionized gas. Lighting is one type of plasma which produces
temperatures that exceed 12,600 °F. With this method of waste disposal, a vessel uses
characteristic plasma torches operating at +10,000 °F which is creating a gasification zone
till 3,000 °F for the conversion of solid or liquid wastes into a syngas.
Composting
Composting is an easy and natural bio-degradation process that takes organic
wastes i.e., remains of plants and garden and kitchen waste and turns into nutrient rich
food for your plants. Composting, normally used for organic farming, occurs by allowing
organic materials to sit in one place for months until microbes decompose it. Composting
is one of the best methods of waste disposal as it can turn unsafe organic products into
safe compost.
