Organisational Conflict
Organisational conflict refers to disagreements or clashes that arise between individuals or groups within a workplace due to differences in opinions, interests, or values (Herrity, 2023). It can manifest in both structured and unstructured ways, such as formal strikes, overtime bans, or protests, and often involves disputes over work conditions, policies, or decision-making. For example, a conflict may arise when employees are unhappy with new management decisions, such as changes to their benefits or working conditions, leading to a strike or a work-to-rule action where employees only perform their specific duties without engaging in any extra work. This type of conflict typically arises from collective grievances, which may be formally addressed through channels such as trade unions or employee committees (CIPD, 2020).Organisational conflict can often escalate if not properly managed, affecting morale, productivity, and overall workplace harmony. Organisational Misbehaviour Organisational misbehaviour refers to actions that are disruptive or deviant, but not necessarily part of an organised, collective effort (Faragher, 2020). Misbehaviour often involves individual or small group actions that defy established norms or rules within the organisation. Examples include absenteeism, sabotage, fraud, or walking out without prior notice. For instance, an employee may repeatedly call in sick, take longer breaks than allowed, or intentionally damage company property to express dissatisfaction or frustration. Unlike organisational conflict, misbehaviour is generally unorganised, and the root cause may stem from personal grievances or a lack of alignment between the employee’s values and the company’s expectations. Misbehaviour can disrupt productivity and create a toxic workplace environment, but it is often more difficult to address since it can be isolated or covert.
