Conflict arises from a clash of perceptions, goals, or values in an arena where people care about the outcome. Confusion can cause conflict because individuals in the organization want to achieve their own personal goals while also working with others to achieve the common mission of the organization. Conflict can be helpful in making necessary changes within the home or work environment. However, unresolved conflict can result in feelings of dissatisfaction, unhappiness, hopelessness, depression, and other emotions. Most conflicts in the workplace can lead to a lot of negative situations, such as being permanently dismissed from your job, work productivity can decrease, it can also increase absenteeism (which is having numerous absences from your job) and sometimes could even result in violence or serious crimes.
I think this was the case in my workplace, due to naivety and lack of confidence. My deputy manager had very differing styles of work, so this caused a lot of conflict between ourselves, then amongst the team.

The Homestead Strike The Homestead Strike was held at Carnegie Steel Mill, and was famous for the struggles between the Labor Unions, and the Business owners around the late 1800s. Many of these struggles turned very violent, which caused many to get hurt. The Labor Unions (Organization of workers) were wanting higher pay, shorter work hours, and upgrade safety conditions for the members. Many Business owners think that Union is an act of trying to take charge of the business owners right to run their company as they please. The owners also don't like the fact that the Union Leaders can call a 'Strike' when the workers feel threatened with their job.
It’s a feeling of weakness that sparks our raving madness and being furious for a moment won’t do us any good. After a while, temper tantrums destroy our physical health and the body won’t be in a state of homeostasis. Prolonged animosity stresses the body out, telling it to keep its guard up which can lead to heart attack or stroke. Negative thoughts stoke our anger more, but once we understand that we can try to stop them. I agree with Hales; Americans are becoming angrier.
5 August 2012 The Editor Jackie Frank Marie Claire Magazine 35-51 Mitchell Street McMahons Pont NSW 2060 Australia To the Editor I was horrified when I read an article in your magazine “Raped and Recorded”.

International Journal of Manpower 20,1/2 16 The nature and causes of bullying at work University of Bergen, Norway Keywords Bullying, Conflict, Harassment, Occupational health, Organizational behaviour, Work psychology Abstract The present paper reviews and summarises the research and literature on the nature and causes of bullying at work. Bullying occurs when someone at work is systematically subjected to aggressive behaviour from one or more colleagues or superiors over a long period of time, in a situation where the target finds it difficult to defend him or herself or to escape the situation.

Most studies treat bullying as a unified phenomenon, in spite of the fact that different kinds of behaviours are involved.
