Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Group disagreements can be positive or negative depending on the type of conflict.
Between-group conflict can be positive for the intragroup members, but negative for the
intergroup members. If there is a conflict between generations, physicians and nurses, and
between those in different job levels, negative conflict occurs as those in conflict are in a
win-lose conflict.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. All are sources of negative conflict except the hospital starting a new service because all have at
least two parties who have different expectations of goals. However, the hospital starting the
new service would not cause conflict within the organization, but would cause conflict
between the original organization and the competing hospital.
