4. 1) EXTERNAL
FACTORS
A) Delegation of work:
 Delegation of work means the work is divided and
particular tasks and roles are given to different
persons according to their skills.
 Work is predefined that which work they have to do,
kind of work, duration of work is already explained to
personnel. So delegation of work is very much
necessary and it is done by higher authority.
 If work is not divided properly then it will lead to
ineffective faculty staff relationship.

5. B) Supervision:
Supervision is very much necessary to make
effective staff relationship.
After the delegation of work it is very much
necessary to evaluate their work that how they
are performing their given roles.
If staff is facing some problems then
assistance or guidelines should be provided to
them which can be beneficial for them which
help them to work out.

6. C) AUTONOMY
 Autonomy is the power to do work independently
and assume the responsibility itself.
 When the autonomy is not given to the personnels
and if they do jobs under the restrictions imposed
by higher authority, they will always feel stressed
which adversely affects the faculty staff relationship.

7. D) COOPERATION
AND COORDINATION
coordination is an active activity which is
deliberately planned and executed where
as cooperation is a passive activity which
is assumed by personnels.
But both the factors are equally
important to maintain the relationship
and promoting the work efficiency.
If faculty do not cooperate with each
other it will result in internal conflicts
among them which ultimaley reduces the
productivity of work.

8. E) LEADERSHIP
leader is a person who leads or commands a group.
Effective leadership is the ability to successfully
integrate and maximize available resources within
the internal and external environment for the
attainment of institutional goals.
On the whole we can say that effective leadership
promotes the coordination as well as effective
faculty staff relationship.

9. F) SUPPORT
support system is also one of the important factor
which promotes the faculty staff relationship.
Support should be provided to personnel if they do
some work in a positive way.
Also if they put their efforts in a teamwork, then
should be encouraged more by providing good
support to them which will enhance the morale and
confidence in them.

10. G) APPRECIATION
OF WORK
Good work should always be appreciated by others
and rewards should be given for their good jobs
and efforts.
If appreciation is given to personnel then will be
more boosted which will also enhance their morale.
They will act as a source of inspiration to others
and others will try to take suggestions or guidelines
from them which will maintain the good relationship
in between them.

11. H) RESPONSIBILITY
Delegation and responsibility are two important
aspects to maintain the relationships.
Personnel should not shurk work and should not
thurst upon others.
They should understand the importance of
delegation along with responsibility that the
particular task or role they have to perform they
should not impose their own responsibilities on
others.

12. I) COMMUNICATION
communication is a key factor in maintaining all kind
of relationships.
Working environment is always conducive if
communication among personnel is good one.
If one person is having more knowledge and skills
then he/she should communicate those skills to
others which will promote team work and their
personal relationships.

13. J) PARTICIPATION
 Participation is also necessary; they should involve
themselves in various activities of others also.
 They should do work as a teamwork which will
resolve their conflicts and promote their effective
relationship.

14. K) SELF ESTEEM
self esteem pertains to values, beliefs and attitudes.
Person should always accept their roles in a positive
manner.
Example: If one person is having more knowledge than
others then he should impart his knowledge in others,
he should not think like that other will gain more
knowledge in comparison to him.
Also, if some person is on higher post but he is having
less age than you, and you have to follow his commands
then person should not think like that why he will take
permission from him and why he follows his
instructions.

15. L) MUTUAL RESPECT
All faculty members should give respect to
each other, they should keep in mind the
uniqueness of each individual, each person
have its own potentials and skills according
to which he performs his work. We should
respect all those potentials and skills of
that person.

16. M) WORK OVERLOAD
sometimes delegation of work is not proper
and workload has been imposed on one person.
In that situation the person is not able to
cooperate with others which adversely affect
the relationships and leads to internal
conflicts.

17. N) ROLE AMBIGUITY
Some times roles are not clearly
defined to person that which
role he has to assume and
ambiguity is there, so person
should know about his/ her own
roles so that according to which
they can perform their work and
prevents the duplication of work.

18. 2) INTERNAL FACTORS
A) Stress:
stress is one of the major
contributing factor for
ineffective faculty staff
relationship. If person is
having some sort of personal
problems due to which he is
under stress then he will be
not able to cooperate with
others and will not try to
become a part of team.

19. B) ANXIETY
If a person is shy in nature and he feels hesitation
from others to seek help of others or sharing
knowledge with others, then it will surely disturb
their relationships.
C) INTROVERT PERSONALITY
some persons are introvert, they do not like to talk to
others and they do not get mix up early with other
ones. Such kind of people always find difficult to
cooperate with others.

20. D) LIFE SATISFACTION
Persons who are happy in their life, they always
think positive and work in a positive manner. They
always cooperate with others.
E) DECISION MAKING SKILLS
Personality of a person depicts job authority of a
person. If a person is not able to take their
decisions own then others will not consider him as
a responsible person and they do not involve him
in their activities which will further enhance their
conflicts.

21. 3) ENVIONMENTAL FACTORS
A) SAFE WORKING AREA:
Job satisfaction is also a crucial factor in maintaining
effective relationship. Person is satisfied from his job if
he works in safe place where his health is promoted not
deteriorated.
B) VENTILATION AND LIGHTNING:
If ventilation and lightning is good in his working environment
then he feels healthy and good not irritable and tries to
maintain good relationship with his colleagues.

22. TECHNIQUES OF WORKING TOGETHER
A) ESTABLISH STANDARDS:
It is a set of instructions and
guidelines which is expected to be
followed by all. To work together it
is essential to have standards as it is
a means of determining what
something should be. If standards
are preset then everyone tries to
follow those guidelines.

23. B) ESTABLISH COMMON GOALS
Goals should be common for
everyone. It should not be
individualized. Each personal
tries to accomplish common goal
which is set for all and makes
the working environment ideal to
all.
C) TEAM WORK:
Each and every staff should work
in a team, cooperate with each
other. They should have good
coordination to enhance the
productivity of work.

24. D) GOOD INTERPERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP
If interpersonal relationships
are good only then individuals
are able to work together.
They should have mutual
understanding and respect.
E) GOOD COMMUNICATION:
communication is always a good
technique to resolve the
conflicts and to establish a
good relationship. So
communication is must to work
together.

25. F) PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

used for working together. If
someone is facing some kind of
problem then alternative solution
of that problem can be taken
from other persons which will
promote their working
environment.
