Answer to Question 1

b

a. Incorrect: Engaging people in aggressive discussion is a negative, not positive, aspect of conflict.
b. Correct: Much conflict in the workplace is the result of real individual differences in what different employees believe is the best decision or course of action, how objectives should be met, and so on. In such cases, conflict can be good because it can lead to innovation and creative decisions.
c. Incorrect: Identifying stronger members of the team is not necessarily a positive aspect of conflict, as it may lead to competition.
d. Incorrect: Fostering competition is not necessarily a positive aspect of conflict, since this usually results in winlose solutions to a problem.
