Conflict arises from difference of opinion between the group members while attaining the organizational goals. An organization is an interlocking network of groups, departments, sections or work teams. In organizations everywhere, conflict among groups of different interests is unavoidable. According to one survey, managers spend an estimated 20 percent of their time dealing with group conflicts. The success of an organization depends upon the harmonious relations among all independent groups. Managers may either directly resolve the conflicts or they may act as mediators between two or more employees. In either case, knowledge and understanding of conflict and the methods of resolving it are important.
Inter-group conflicts result from the ways in which organizations co-ordinate the work of different groups and distribute rewards among those groups.
