Conflict at Work
“Interpersonal conflict is a pervasive, inevitable and normal part of our lives. Academics and practitioners have contributed substantial research and literature to help us understand the causes of interpersonal conflict and its impact on us, those around us and in the organisations within which we work.
However, many of us do not grasp the dynamic of conflict or our role within it.
Cinnie Noble – “Conflict Management Coaching”

What is Conflict?
• “Any situation in which interdependent people have apparently incompatible interests, goals, principles or feelings” Craig E Runde and Tim A Flanagan (2007)
• “A condition between two interdependent people in which one or both feel angry with the other and perceives the other as being at fault” Daniel Dana (2005)
• “A perceived divergence of interest or a belief that the parties current aspirations cannot be achieved simultaneously” Jeffrey Rubin, Dean G Pruitt and Sung Hee Kim (1986)

What is Conflict?

Main Components of Conflict
1. At least one person perceives there is something amiss with the other person(s).
2. At least one person experiences negative emotions that prevail indefinitely about a specific interaction with another person(s)
3. Incompatibilities exist about how one person views another’s perspectives, actions, words or ways of communication
