We have varied personalities which usually results to incompatible choices and opinions.

In addition, coming up with adjustments is necessary for managing this type of conflict.

Process interventions and Structural interventions were identified by Thomas (1985) as two ways of dealing with conflict situations. Each approach attempts to resolve conflict, both are effective in intraorganizational and interorganizational conflict management.
