Question

Give an example from your personal experience of how differences in tasks, personal background, and training lead to conflict among groups. How might task interdependence have influenced that conflict?

Answer 1

Answer:
A conflict is always there in the team when it comes to data integration. One such event occured when the lady from IT integration suggested that a change should be made in the model for adaptability. The IT guy didn't want to change the model prepared because he belived that he, being an engineer, knows more than lady who is a Master in Computer Applications and also that due to her lesser years of experience, she isn't able to do her work properly and make the tweaks to adjust to what he has prepared. The data science guy wanted the data flow to be smooth and support the outpiut system. Also he wanted to get the job done urgently because he doesn't want to spend the night verifying the data, because he prefers to work from 9 till 5 and doesn't want to extend his working hours beyond this. The model needs to be presented to the customer the very next day.
All these people are excellent in their work but when it comes to working in a group to accomplish a task end to end, either their personal agenda comes in picture or their motive to present themselves as the head of the team and getting the things done according to their own wish, becomes dominant. Of the work these people are cordial colleagues.
Don't forget to rate it.
Thanks.
