The term conflict refers to perceived incompatible differences resulting in some form of interference or opposition. It is a natural part of organizational life because everyone has a different perspective on certain things, and goals between coworkers are not always going to be the same. If people perceive that differences exist, then conflict state exists. Conflict is a force that needs to be managed or resolved and cannot be ignored. Unless it is fully resolved, it may remain latent in the situation as a lingering basis for future conflicts related to a same matter. Conflicts are inevitable parts of organizational life. Whenever people depend on one another, grounds for cooperation and competition exist.
On my last paper I wrote about organizational change and how it affects my work life. Change can always lead to conflict even if the change ended up being positive or negative. For example, the production crew of a TV show may decide to make some changes in the script that the president of the channel won’t like and that may lead to conflict between the president and the production team. This is why people are afraid of change, because it can cause conflict and difficulty. As I mentioned earlier, if conflict isn’t resolved, it may remain latent in the situation as a lingering basis for future conflicts related to a same matter.
