The charts illustrate the results of surveys asking workers about their relationships with their supervisors and co-workers in 2005 and 2009. Overall, there are some slight differences between the two periods of time. But there is the same result: all relationships became better after two years.
In 2005, the relationships between workers, their supervisors, and their colleagues had some parallels. There was one percent of them who did not have a supervisor or a co-worker. However, there were two percent of workers who did not have an answer about their supervisor, while there were none when they were asked about their colleagues. But in an overview, the relationships with workers’ colleagues were slightly better because 63% of people had a very good relationship with their co-workers, while 61% of people had one with their supervisors.
In 2009, the differences between them were greater than in the past. Five percent of workers did not have a supervisor, while there were none in the colleague chart. The positive relationships also had noticeable differences. 65% of workers had a very good relationship with their supervisor, while 70% of workers had a very good relationship with their co-workers. The other positive relationships with colleagues were also bigger than those with their supervisors.
In conclusion, there are differences, but they are not really much, and they could not affect work efficiency.
