May you please help with a response to my classmates discussion post below?..........

Organizational conflict is a state of disagreement or misunderstanding within the members of an organization.This could occur from opposing needs, beliefs, and opinions. Any contradiction between members of an organization can result in a conflict. Some causes of organizational conflict could be misunderstanding of information between coworkers over when something should be sent and one of them was pretty sure it was due today and they both wrote it down but both have different dates on as to when it is due. So they both agreed to send it in on the other coworker's date which is in two days. Then it turns out to be late and they both are punished for it. They then point fingers at one another but nothing can be done except to accept the fact that it is late and for next time when they doubt a deadline to just ask the manager to make sure instead of just assuming. Some methods of conflict resolution are to handle the conflict positively and instead of dwelling on what could have been said or done correctly to just move on and learn from the mistakes. Another way is to focus on the cause rather than the effect in order to assess the conflict.
