Answer 1

• a)Lack of Information-Conflict can arise when one party feels it lacks important information, according.When employees are continually experiencing changes that they were not informed about, or if there are decisions being made that the staff feels it should be involved in, this can bring about conflict between employees and managers.
• b) Lack of necessary resources can cause conflict among employees, and between employees and management. If employees feel there is a lack of resources needed to do their job, competition will arise among employees for the available resources. The employees who are unable to obtain what they need to perform their duties will begin to blame management for the lack of necessary resources.
• c)Personal Relationships-A work environment can be a stressful place, and it can be made worse when personal differences begin to develop between employees.
• Of the major causes of workplace conflict, personal relationships can be particularly counterproductive, because problems may be generated both at home or in the office. Some employees bring stress from their home life to work, and this can cause conflicts among co-workers and managers.
• Some personal conflicts arise when employees are unable to accept personal differences, which can involve such things as race, religion or ethnic background.
• Issues with Management-Incompetent managers can create conflict in the workplace. A manager who does not understand the job tasks of his subordinates, or is uninformed about the job duties that each employee is supposed to perform, can be responsible for tension and conflict in the workplace.
• Employees who lose confidence in managers due to inconsistent decisions or bad planning can also become a source of conflict.
• Poor communication is one of the main causes of conflict between employees in the workplace. This can result in a difference in communication styles or a failure to communicate.
