Abstract

Focus of this research was the exploration of the dynamics of cooperation at the individual level at work. A qualitative method with a constructive realism approach was chosen for this research to find and construct the realities (the world of life) in lay community groups related to their understanding of cooperation in workplace. Data collection was carried out using the open questionnaire method for 140 employees from various sectors and the data were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The results showed that cooperation at the individual level in workplace settings is a dynamic relation among the dimensions of relationship quality, competence, consequence, work facilitation and emotions. Cooperation at the individual level started from the relationship between individuals which is manifested in the form of togetherness, involvement, understanding of others, reciprocal behavior and respect. These positive behaviors can encourage the emergence of self- competencies that support the achievement of consequences in the form of task accomplishments and material achievements. Through these achievements cooperation can facilitate work to be light, easy and run smoothly. In this research, the end of the dynamics of cooperation is the emergence of emotional aspects, namely positive emotions, emotional regulation and emotional stability. This aspect arised because it is influenced by work facilitation and consequences.
