ABSTRACT
We have been studying a critical issue on
the shore of conflict in an organization, it’s so crucial that every hand has
to be on deck to salvage this debilitating situation this back bone of any
meaningful development is conflict in an organization. It can be arrested or
resolved depending on the approach. A sure way of maintaining a set stand
end of resolution of conflict is by encouraging this workers on areas of
manpower training and development. The need for staff orientation as it
helps to subside conflict re-occurrence in this organization.
In this study, we have looked into various ways of eradiating this “ailing
situation, the causes, sources of conflict in an organization, also the
approaches, strategies to management of conflicts the appropriate ways.
To help the organization is to identify how efficiency can be increased in an
organization through proper appreciation of the causes and mechanism for
conflict resolution. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher
therefore makes the following recommendations that use of dominance arising by
virtue of organization functionaries, formal authority should be de-emphasized
and the sue of bargaining encored or encouraged. This is because
dominance may no longer, while in bargaining both sides are aware of mutual
dependence and would continue to co-operate this conflict is battled or
resolved. This implies that in bargaining attention is focused on a
continuum of attitudes. And attitude change such as from open hostility to a
closer co-operation. Management should introduce the use of an
influential man in the sue of hierarchy who can facilitate communication and
ensure that the subordinates can confide and bring their problem to him before
the conflict expands and becomes compacted.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Ours is an age of rapid change, unrest and
conflicting ideologies. Society is unsettled and individuals are
apprehensive as group, nations and organized groups within the nation’s
struggle for power and control over material resources and man’s mind. It
is in such a world setting of tension and discourages that we view the present
day relationship between labour and management in Nigeria.
In an organization, there are the owners of business who’s primary goals and
objective is to maximize profit at all cost, while on the other hand, there are
workers whose only weapon is this labour power with which they earn some reward
usually monetarily. In other words, these two groups (the owners and
workers) here their own are interest which might differ. Nevertheless,
they re bound to co-operate in other to maintain and sustain the system of
going concern. However, where there is no co-operation, there will be
conflict. Conflict can be described as a situation of disagreement
between employers, employee and employer etc. It could also be seen as
the total rouge of behaviour and express opposition and divergent orientation
between owners and managers on one hand, worker and the organization on the
other hand.

life.
