DEFINITIONS
Conflict
While
no
single
definition
of conflict exists, most definitions involve the
following factors: there are at least two
independent groups, the groups perceive
some incompatibility between themselves,
and the groups interact with each other in
some way. Two example definitions are,
"process in which one party perceives that its
interests are being opposed or negatively
affected by another party" and "the
interactive
process
manifested
in
incompatibility, disagreement, or dissonance
within or between social entities.

TYPES OF CONFLICT
A. Intrapersonal
Conflict within a person is not always
easy to identify, but it can become apparent
when mood swings are present or depression
is evident. Intrapersonal conflict is also
apparent when a person has trouble choosing
between two or more goals. Most of us do not
possess the skills to handle serious
intrapersonal conflicts; therefore referring
your afflicted employee to a trained
professional is the best way to handle this
problem.
B. Interpersonal
Conflict between two people is not
always bad, particularly if the differences can
be resolved. People respond in different ways
to disagreements, with personal feelings,
attitudes and goals contributing to the
conflict. As a small business manager, you
want your employees to settle their
differences
without
your
personal
intervention, but sometimes you need to step
in.
C. Intragroup
Departmental harmony is essential to
helping maintain productivity and workplace
morale. When two or more people do not get
along together, that personal battle can affect
everyone. Some examples of intragroup
conflict may include ethnic, religious or
gender prejudice, perceived or real injustices
and
various
personality
differences.
Depending on how strong the conflict is, you
may need outside help to resolve differences.
This step can involve bringing a trusted or
otherwise objective third party who has
D. Intergroup
Battles between your accounting and
operations team or between frontline workers
and online customer service agents can
become
a
problem
especially
where
customers are involved. One group of
employees may not usually get along, but
may cast differences to the side to unite
against
other
employees.
Perceived
differences in status and different group goals
can fuel intergroup conflict. Oftentimes, this
leads to miscommunication or even no
communication, affecting your organizations
ability to function. You can react by avoiding
the problem, through problem solving,
changing certain workplace variables or by
following an internal dispute resolution
process. Under some circumstances, a
facilitator may be needed to help discuss
issues of conflict and related concerns.
Allowing this problem to continue can spell
the end of your business.
MANAGING CONFLICT
Conflict
can
occur
when
a
disagreement cant be easily resolved.
Although conflict can be a normal part of our
relationships and is healthy if well-handled,
it can sometimes escalate and become
destructive.
We often feel strong emotions when a
disagreement continues. It may be hard for
you to keep a clear head while experiencing
strong feelings. Listening to the other
persons point of view may also be much
harder.
Its normal for people to respond
differently to conflict. Some people want to
retreat and hide, physically or emotionally,
when faced with conflict. Other people may
become stubborn in their need to get their
own way. To manage conflict in a healthy way,
its important to be aware of how you respond
