I'm always a STRONG beleiver in Team Work. Not only your department colleages, but the colleages from other departments are also part of the team & makes a job successful. Starting from enquiry generation stage to delivery, almost all the business unit people are involved. BD or Marketing guy generates the requirement,  sales guy completes the sale,  design & engg guy makes the design and specs,  finance guy approves the budget,  production guy produces it,  quality guy checks & ensures the quality,  logistics guy delivers it. Hence everybody's performance depends on everybody. If one guy fails, then the entire team fails.

In my26 years of experience, I have observed that people working in the same atmosphere often tend to mix professional relationship with personal relationship.

Once in a personal relationship it will invariably lead to contempt, hence negativity etc.

It depends on your job role!

For example with my job i.e. Quality Asurance it is very important to have a good and positive relationship with your fellow colleagues. It is because QMS cannot work effectively without positive response of your departments, your team and your subordinates. Hence it will effect negatively on the work performance.

It can surely affect it because we are being influenced, more or less, by other people and in this case, our colleagues. So, if the working environment is normal, with good characters they can affect you positively as you are having good examples to follow every day. So you are trying more and you gain more knowledge. If, in the other hand, you don't have good characters around you, it's more difficult to be focused on your work and you'll need more time to produce results. So, I believe there must be the right person in the right  job for a company to succeed.

The relationship at work is called "working relationship" and it depends on our colleagues' mindset and knowledge of the importance of team spirt, as any member of the team may affect the other team members by his/her positive or negative thinking and attitude

Relationship with colleagues within the work can affect the performance both Positive and Nagative. It is depends upon the colleagues as well as our behaviour with them. But we should maintain and consider possitive only.

At workplace we have no personal relationship. Our relationship is called "working relationship". And it depends on your colleagues' mindset, and behaviour. If their mindset/attitude is positive, they would act/behave positively, and in such atmosphere everyone can perform upto the mark OTHERWISE it would affetc the performace of all negatively.
