It is important because you see them every day, and you don't want to develop a bad relationship with a co-worker and dread going to work and seeing him/her. Also, if you and your co-workers are on good terms, you can count on them having your back when they're talking to the boss... and not talking crap about you because they like you. And if your boss sees that you work well with other people, he/she will realize that you are a good team player and work well with your surroundings. I managed a group of girls last year that were the snottiest people... they didn't get along with eachother and acted like little kids. I thought this was a terrible attitude to have in the workplace, and I didn't reccomend any of them for promotion when the time came. It just goes to show that if you work hard at your job, AND work well with other people, you will do well. A boss doesn't want to promote someone they see as not getting along with other people and snotty. It's just not a good attribute to have in the workplace. So concentrate on doing your best at your job, AND keeping up positive relationships with co-workers.
One other thing I do recommend about office friendships... keep your personal life out of the workplace, and save it for after hours. You don't want to distract from your job by spending too much time talking about personal stuff with your co-workers. Plus, if they start slacking at their job, you don't want to go down with them.

YES! With so many people working more than 8 hours a day, you usually spend more time around your co-workers than your own family. If you don't get along, it makes for a very long and frustrating day.

Absolutely. Getting along helps to get things accomplished, and it creates a better working environment. If there's people in the office that you can't get along with, you'll dread going to work. You'll become an apathetic employee, and you won't give 100%. You won't pull your weight, which will require others to work harder, which will in turn stress them out and increase the burn out rate. Now you've got a bunch of pissed off grumpy people trying as hard as they can to not grab a gun shoot up the office.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF THE ATMOSHERE IS GOOD THEN THE
ENTIRE OFFICE /OR OTHER ENVIROMENT WILL RUN SMOOTHER AND IF YOU DON'T GET ALONG WITH CO WORKERS YOU CAN BE THE MOST MISREABLE PERSON AROUND AND WHOM WANTS THAT ALSO WHEN I SAY GET ALONG I DON'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE BEST FRIENDS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT ABLE TO WORK AND COMMUNICATE ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL

One sentence says it all:
Today's co-worker could be tomorrow's boss.
So not only is it nice to get along..it's smart too.
