Description

In organizational life, groups and teams play an important life. Organizational structure includes sub-units, which are made up of groups of people and most of the activities carried out in the organization require some amount of co-ordination through operations of groups and teamwork (Alvesson, 2012). It is very essential for the manager to understand the nature of groups to influence behavior of the people in work situation as it directly impacts organizational performance. Most of the work in organization are group-based activities and if organization has to perform effectively and efficiently it requires co-operation and collaboration among its members (Furnham & Xenikou, 2013). Conflicts can be referred to as differences between two or more persons or groups characterized by emotion, tension, disagreement or polarization (Jandt, 2016). Organizations today are increasingly diverse and complex with large number of interdependencies and hence there are increased potential for several disagreements (Jeong, 2009).
