Conflict in Organisations


CONFLICT
Conflict is a difference of opinion, struggle against each other to achieve power, resources with multifaceted objective; sometimes natural or some times unnatural.
The happy family view
Conflict is not a systematic issue but is a major cause of:
•          misunderstanding
•          personality factors
•          great expectation
•          macro factors
•          bad management
•          poor leadership & poor communication
•          bloody mindedness or aggressive behaviour

The Conflicting view:
•           members compete for power
•           individuals competing interests

The evolutionary view:
•          conflict is positive for change
•          Competing interests may balance the individuals’ interests and preserve social and organizational arrangement.
