Shall India Proclaim Moratorium on Strikes, Lockouts, Bandhs?

Abstract

A conflict is constructive if it is task oriented and not a personal one. It focuses on execution of the task without losing objectivity of organizational betterment. Constructive conflicts emphasize task-completion, problem solving, creativity, exchange of ideas and also generate high-quality decisions in the workplace. Unlike this, a personal conflict is more of an ego game, hence destructive. Managed in the wrong way, real and legitimate differences between people can quickly spiral out of control, resulting in situations where co-operation breaks down and the team's mission is threatened. The fact that conflict exists, however, is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as it is resolved effectively, it can lead to personal and professional growth. The focus is on real-work situations and its problems and challenges in the workplace. This article will help to understand how to increase effectiveness in getting things done while building positive working relationships and avoiding aggressive or submissive behaviour patterns and hence improving workplace environment.
