6.       Cooperation.  The attitude of an individual to participate willingly in harmony with others in a group, in achieving the group goal. This implies a belief in the collective effort being more productive than the individual effort. Cooperation includes the element of joint effort and team spirit.

Team spirit indicates loyalty to the aims and objects of the group to the extent of subordinating individual aim to the group aim.

*        Such   persons   are   altruistic,   selfless,   volunteers workers  with  tremendous  esprit  –  de  corps.  They  are  also humane, warm hearted, spontaneous and group minded people.

 

7.          Sense of Responsibility:   It enable a person to be dependable and to willingly discharge his obligation. It includes sense of duty but is much more comprehensive in meaning and scope. It implies:

(a)        Sense of duty   Faithfully and firmly doing what one is ordered to do.

(b)         Discipline.        A trained sense of acting strictly in accordance with rules, regulations and conventions. This factor promotes development of self control and keeps one within bounds of social and normal standards.

Sense of responsibility therefore means:-

(a)        A through  understanding  of  the  values  of  duty, social standard, and of what is required of an individual and then to give it his energy and attention of his own accord.

(b)        Doing  one’s best,  carrying  out even  unspecified and probably unforeseen duties and obligations rather than faithfully carrying out what one is told to do. It demonstrates moral willingness to bear the consequences.

*        Persons   with   higher   sense   of responsibility   are exceptionally dutiful, faithful and respectful to authority. They are very conscientious and go out of the way to soldier responsibilities.
