Conflict arises in the workplace due to differences in interests, approaches, timing, and attitudes between people. There are two types of conflicts: behavioral, which stems from personal emotions and perceptions, and structural, which is due to ambiguous roles or inefficient workflows. Common types of conflicts include those between individuals, groups, and organizations. Effective conflict resolution involves techniques like collaboration, where parties find creative solutions, compromise, where an intermediate solution is found, and accommodation, where one party prioritizes the relationship over the issue. Unmanaged conflict can escalate if handled through competing or avoided entirely. Overall, managed conflict can improve analytical thinking and team cohesion.
