Conflict within any organization is inescapable. “Conflict occurs whenever interdependent parties perceive incompatible goals. Since organizations have been described as systems of interdependent units with often competing interests, conflict is an inevitable and pervasive part of organizational life.” (Jameson, 1999, p.) Since conflict is expected to occur within an organization, the question then becomes what are the sources of this conflict. And, is it really important to understand these sources, within the autocratic structure of an organization, such as a business, where resolution can be imposed upon its members, whether they agree with the solution or not?
