Summary/Abstract: Interpersonal relationships in the workplace continue to represent an interesting and open topic for research. A high level of cooperation with colleagues, both senior and junior, can lead to the above-standard performance of work, individual self-realisation, and the creation of a happy working atmosphere, which undoubtedly affects the level of service delivery in the hospitality sector which extends even to employees' personal lives which thus are perceived as having greater meaning. Conversely, a low level of interpersonal cooperation affects staff fluctuation and the quality of the work performed, and employment thus may become seen as merely a necessity for ensuring the most important life needs. In the article, the authors attempt to define how individuals view the subject of mutual cooperation in the context of their job positions and gender. Opinions were found to differ according to the specific situation of individuals; the authors encountered women working in women's collectives, men who preferred to work with male colleagues or, conversely, female colleagues, more senior workers who describe differences with respect to co-operation with men and women as well as junior staff who prefer to work either with male or female colleagues.
