Abstract
Workplace conflict emerges when there is a disagreement between two or more parties in the organization or when a person perceives incompatible needs, goals, desires, or ideas with another person (Deutsch 1994). There are two major forms of conflict in the workplace: Interpersonal conflict takes place when a worker perceives that his/her valued outcomes are deprived due to interference from the opposing worker, while intergroup conflict arises when a group of workers perceive a deprivation of valued outcomes due to interference from the opposing group (De Dreu 2011).
