8. DL NELSON and JC Quick (2000) suggest using
following questions to diagnose as to whether a
conflict is functional and dysfunctional:
• Are the parties to conflict hostile to each other?
• Is the outcome likely to be negative one for the
organizational?
• Do the potential losses of the parties exceed
any potential gains?
• Is energy diverted from goal accomplishment?

willing to examine various alternatives and its
creativity has gone down.
