As an employee, it sounds as if you are considering whether your workplace is fostering an environment that is positive and productive. You realize that some level of your own organizational commitment as an employee rests on how people mediate trouble situations such as this. The way people manage themselves in the work environment and relate to those around them is central. It is not enough that this person is an exceptional performer. Studies on organizational structures prove that teams have a far greater economic contribution to an organization than mere individuals.
Employees consistently acting out can be a conduit to making others feel isolated and disconnected.
You might wonder whether the boss and organization is ineffectual in approaching this person and what other problems won't be mediated in the future. This disruption will affect employees' allegiance to the organization. According to David Bonomo, a Resources Manager for a government agency, employees expect to be given resources to effectively complete the projects to which there will be rewards based on outcome. The boss' responsibility is to mediate and build an action plan, as well as assigning the projected goals of each individual in relation to the work team and organization. When problems arise, some type of interpersonal-relations course may be used to further understand personality differences.
