            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.

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.

INTRODUCTION
