As a group, are you able to come to consensus on the issue?

Answer 1

Organizational conflict  or a workplace conflict, is a  condition of discord  which is caused by the actual or perceived opposition of needs, wants, values and interests between people working together.

Conflicts  are  having both good and bad impacts:

GOOD IMPACTS OF CONFLICT

•Conflicts allow  one to identify problems that are needed to be solved, helping you strengthening the organization.

•Conflicts prompts one to see how the employees react to problems and help you identify their personality traits.

•The higher authority is able to identify which of your employees are bullies, complainers, leaders, problem solvers, mediators or quitters. This ultimately helps in identifying potential candidates for promotion or employees who need to be terminated.

•The presence of a dissenting member or subgroup often results in more penetration of the group's problem and brings more creative solutions.

•Intergroup conflict may help generate creative tensions leading to more effective contributions to the organizational objectives.

BAD IMPACTS OF CONFLICT

Takes an Emotional Toll

The most dangerous disadvantage of conflict is the toll on emotions. Employees with high morale are likely to work harder, stay within the company and be more productive. When employees feel they are being bullied, taken advantage of or facing favoritism, they may go  looking another job or starts performing poorly.

Conflict Exposes Business Weaknesses

Conflicts often arise as the result of a weakness within your organization. The weakness could be a character flaw of an employee, poorly communicated directions, a lack of resources or any erroneous assumptions about the best way to handle the procedure or a process.

Address Legal Concerns

Depending on the conflict, how employees react to it and how you handle it, your small business may be susceptible to face with a harassment conditions.

Any conflict which don’t affect the operation is  still  problematic since they cause ill will among employees. This is more troublesome for small companies where workers must see each other and work together on a daily manner.

Other than the above, it’s also having the following negative impacts:

• Diverting time and energy from the main issues
• Delay decision making
• Creating deadlocks
• Interferes with listening process
• Obstruct exploration of more multiple alternatives
• Decreases sensitivity
• Causes high potential employees to resign.

As a group we are able to come with a consensus or a general agreement on this issue that conflicts will ultimately causes the organizational disruption and deviates from the achievement of its organization.

And hence the bad impacts of the conflicts are more strongly presented in this paper.
