Nam, Some few months ago I answered a survey for Ed, the administrator of our group, addressed to IT students, and if I remember well, one of the conclusions was that to work in a group is one of the most important factors to take into account to be successful at work, above other ones.
Unfortunately what I perceive or notice in the region where I live is a lack of collaboration in the workplace. I can't generalize but, at least among elementary and high school teachers I have been able to realize that the work in groups is minimal, everyone goes on the defensive because of professional jealousy (most of the teachers don't like to admit that they don't know about everything). We all have to defend our jobs, then the mutual trust among members is limited, and it's not so common that there be the appropriate conditions that favor the team-work (e.g. low salaries, lack of motivation). And to answer the question, I think both are important if you are a good worker. They both complement each other. In some jobs the team-work it's more important or viable. Personally, I could say that I would prefer to work alone, but when the conditions are given, the team-work is the ideal thing. Well, answer to this post took me almost one hour! Is it that hard to answer to similar questions like this for you too?
