Being human, difference in the openion is always there. some time it acts as a python and sometime it attacks like cobra and causes a dispute in your family, frieds, school, colleges, universities and finally at your work place. The nature and intensity varies from time to time and place to place. If you manage the differences of openion on time than it will work and will save you from upcoming conflict but if you failed and you try to suppress it than in the future it may react with more intensity like cobra and you may not handle it appropriately.

There can be several issues on which workplace conflict can arise, you can not predict the insight of the workers. mostly at lower levels the reason behind the conflict can be intradepartmental issues which are usually based on lack of equity principles. workers dont trust on management and resultantly they started resistance against the policies introduced by the management. Conflict can be inerdepartmental which started from the lower levels and ends at the top management.

Conflict at the lower level may not as harmful as it is on the top level. objectives of the organization suffers a lot when at the inter department conflict arises. Top most management must keep an eye in all the department and should minimize the conflict at the lower level but it should not go for the supressing the conflict, supression of the conflict can be danagerous as it can regain its synergy soon. I will describe soon how the cost the organization have to pay by the conflict and than the strategies to cope the conflict in my upcoming articles.
