The paradoxical results of corporate conflict
Abstract
The prevailing view of modern theorists is that conflict is increasingly perceived as legitimate, inevitable, and even desirable under certain organizational and environmental conditions. Katz claims that without conflict a company would have few problems, hardly any stimulation, and little incentive for constructive effort. In fact, the organization would soon see its own dissolution! If this is true, then a dynamic and healthy organization must be in a state of continuous conflict of varying degrees. The purpose of this paper is to examine the constructive and destructive consequences of that organizational conflict.
