‘Rewton Ltd.’ was a reputed computer software company providing

unique software all over India. The turnover of the company was very

high resulting in good profits. The Chief Executive Officer, Vihaan, was

very strict and disciplined. He specified the boundaries of authority and

responsibility for achieving organizational goals. There was systematic

coordination among the various activities and specific relationships

among various job positions. The company provided facilities like a

canteen, a gym, a library, a music room, and a rest area for its employees,

which they could use during rest intervals. Using these facilities, the

employees developed friendships and discussed not only their personal,

social and emotional issues, but also the official ones.

The General Manager was of a different view. He told the Chief

Executive Officer that there was no use providing these facilities to the

employees as it is an extra financial burden on the organization on one

hand and on the other hand, it encourages groupism and whenever any

change is required in the organization, they all resist. He suggested that

they should do away with these facilities. But the Chief Executive

Officer, Vihaan, explained to the General Manager that this type of social

interaction is necessary, and is in the best interest of the organization.

These interactions among people at work give rise to a network of social

relationships among employees and have many benefits.
