2. VALUES
 Values are beliefs that people use to give
meaning to their lives. Values explain what is
“good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”, “just” or
“unjust”.
 It is a relationship between a person and an
environmental situation which evokes an
appreciative response in the individual.
 Values helps us to form positive bonds with
other people.

3. VALUE CONFLICT
 Conflict refers to some form of disagreement or
discord arising within a group when the beliefs or
actions of one or more members of the group are
either resisted by or unacceptable to one or more
members of another group.
People can live together in harmony with different
value systems. Value conflict arise only when people
attempt to force one set of values on others or lay
claim to exclusive value systems that do not allow for
divergent beliefs.

4. CAUSES OF CONFLICT
 Differing values can lead to conflicts.
 Making assumptions can lead to conflicts.
 Differences in the way you were brought
up can lead to conflicts.
 Differing expectations can lead to conflicts.
 Knowledge and ability to deal with conflict
can result in conflicts.

6. INTRAPERSONAL
CONFLICT
 Intrapersonal conflict
occurs within an individual. It
is a type of conflict that is
psychological involving the
individual’s thoughts, values,
principles and emotions.
 Intrapersonal conflict leads
to restlessness and
uneasiness, or can even cause
depression.

7. INTERPERSONAL
CONFLICT
Interpersonal Conflict refers to a
conflict between two
individuals. This occurs typically
due to how people are different
from one another. We have
varied personality which
usually results to incompatible
choices and opinions thus
resulting in a conflict.

8. INTRAGROUP
CONFLICT
Intragroup conflict is a type
of conflict that arises among
individuals within a group.
The incompatibilities and
misunderstandings among
these individuals lead to an
intragroup conflict.

9. INTERGROUP
CONFLICT
Intergroup conflict takes
place when a
misunderstanding arises
among different groups
within an organization.
This is due to varied set of
goals and interests of
these different groups.

10. CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Conflict resolution is conceptualized as the
methods and processes involved in
facilitating the peaceful ending of conflict.
It is a way for two or more parties to find
a peaceful solution to a disagreement
among them. The disagreement may be
personal, financial, political, or
emotional. The conflict cannot be easily
resolved with facts because the differences
are belief-based and not fact-based.

11. CONFLICT RESOLUTION STAGES

solutions

12. WAYS TO RESOLVE A CONFLICT

 Discuss or Debate
 Always show respect
 Acknowledge emotions
 Change the wording
 Compromise
 Seek mediation
 Accept the situation
 If all else fails, wait

13. CONCLUSION
Conflict is an inevitable part of life. Each of us
possesses our own opinions, ideas and sets of beliefs.
We have our own ways of looking at things and we
act according to what we think is proper. Hence, we
often find ourselves in conflict in different scenarios;
may it involve other individuals, groups of people, or
a struggle within our own selves. Consequently,
conflict influences our actions and decisions in one
way or another. Conflicts are not always negative,
sometimes it has some positive consequences. The
important thing is to keep wasteful and damaging
conflict to a minimum and, when it does occur, use
the relevant techniques to resolve or at least ease it.
