Sources of Conflict


There are many causes or reasons for conflict in any work setting. Some of the primary causes are:


Poor Communication: different communication styles can lead to misunderstandings between employees or between employee and manager. Lack of communication drives conflict ‘underground’.


Different Values: any workplace is made up of individuals who see the world differently. Conflict occurs when there is a lack of acceptance and understanding of these differences.


Differing Interests: conflict occurs when individual workers ‘fight’ for their personal goals, ignoring organizational goals and organizational well-being.


Scarce Resources: too often, employees feel they have to compete for available resources in order to do their job. In a resource scarce environment, this causes conflicts – despite awareness of how scarce resources may be.


Personality Clashes: all work environments are made up of differing personalities. Unless colleagues understand and accept each other’s approach to work and problem-solving, conflict will occur.


Poor Performance: when one or more individuals within a work unit are not performing - not working up to potential – and this is not addressed, conflict is inevitable.



Some tips for avoiding and resolving conflicts


1. Be proactive instead of reactive. Good plans shape good decisions. That's why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true. -Lester R. Bittel


2. Be slow to anger-especially over petty issues. Anger is always more harmful than the insult that caused it. -Chinese Proverb


3. Instead of telling people they are wrong, point out mistakes indirectly. A person convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. -Samuel Butler


4. Look for some type of common ground as soon as possible. A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece. -Ludwig Erhard


5. If you find that you are in the wrong, admit it. It's easier to eat crow while it is still warm. -Dan Heist


6. Admit one of your own poor decisions before pointing out a similar error by others. A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying... that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. -Alexander Pope, from Miscellanies by Jonathan Swift


7. Mend fences whenever possible. Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it forgoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury. - E.H. Chapin
