Conflict occurs in different scenarios between individuals and group of people. Basically, this is due to opposing ideas and actions of different units or same units, creating an antagonistic state. However, conflict is an unavoidable part of life. In a working environment, conflict influence our actions and decision in one way or another. Intergroup and intragroup conflict is a major factor that affects the pattern of group-level movement patterns and ultimately shaped the evolution of group living and sociality. It shows the conflict that happens at any level of the group can cause a significant impact to shape the organisation. It can be a positive impact or a negative impact. However, the conflict can be very meaningful in coming up with decisions because all parties involved try to give the organisation the best solution. However, it must parallel with the spirit of harmony to avoid any unpleasant environment.
