Abstract
International conflicts based on personality differences serve some useful purpose as they force re-examination of data and approaches and resultant modifications may benefit the organisation as a whole. But persistent conflicts cause damage to it. Informal groups serve many useful functions by providing opportunities for fulfillment of security, social and esteem needs of their members, but at the same time create a number of human relations problems. They put pressure on deviants and isolates if they produce more than group norms of production, do not easily accept new employees in the groups and resists transfer of group members, inter-group conflicts also create problems. Differences in the means for goal attainment may also cause conflict. A manager and his subordinates may run into conflict about work priorities, or determination of activities that will lead to goal accomplishment. Competition for allocation of funds or other resources may also cause conflicts. This paper attempts to study the researcher's outcome of their researches on conflict management in different organisations.
