A ritual is something that has a set pattern to it and, depending on the ritual, is connected to a particular activity.

Re:
- In the earlier time, establishing good relationship between supervisor and employees makes increasing salary easier. Employees inclinded to step into their supervisor's office and tried to get the ball rolling. Is that right?
Having a personal relationship with somebody doesn't necessarily mean it is a good relationship, but that is, of course, what you would wish for. :)
Having a personal relationship with your supervisor means you can at least

(Don't use "tried to" in "get the ball rolling". You either get the ball rolling or you don't.)
