5、在个人发展中起着不可以或缺的作用，比方在工作场所。支持这一见解的原因有好多，但以下原因是最典型的。第一，强烈的社区责任感有助于培养友善的人际关系。我们都知道，进入职场后，与同事相处的时间很可能比与家人相处的时间更多。因此，优异的工作氛围和员工之间的人际关系对大家的身心欢喜至关重要。其他，集体责任意识可以提高效率。在快节奏的现代社会，时间就是金钱，而效率是节约时间的关键。俗话说，三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮。因此，我们应该高度重视集体责任感的培养，而且我们自己将最后会从中受益。综上所述，我们可以得出结论，集体责任感是一种优异的个人质量，值得我们的关注。PartListeningComprehensio
