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.

办公室工作可能会给员工生活带来麻烦。压力可能积蓄并爆发出问题。这可能严重影响公司的生产力和效率。困扰办公室的问题可能大不相同，具体取决于雇员甚至是雇主的特点。员工可能觉得自己工作量大而得到的报酬却很低。他们也可能感觉这表明没有人欣赏他们的工作，而这会在他们抱怨工作时导致更紧张的情绪。他们所具有的个性差异也可能会引起冲突。这可以在有过于私密关系存在的办公室里看到。当权者很可能更倾向于看重这些关系而不是工作本身。他们可能会忽视推动公司发展的目标。对同事和公司说三道四就是常见的例子。说闲话者在传递不满情绪时会破坏每个人的努力。领导也可能过于关注竞争，而不够注重团队协作。如果发生这些问题，每个人都有责任去了解并尝试解决问题。如果没有出现这种情况，领导就应该采取措施避免其发生。这是所有公司都需要整合的自我完善过程的一部分。经常对领导技能和团队协作能力进行评估将有助于避免这些问题发生。
