Workplace Conflict and Stress

Paper Summary:

Workplace communication, like any communication, is basic to the interaction and subsequent performance of the participants. This paper looks at what causes conflict in workplace communication and how employees experience this stress.

From the Paper:

"Workplace communication is different from social communication due to the contrived hierarchy one finds in the workplace. One communicates in the workplace with employees who are in subordinate positions as well as with those who occupy equal or superior positions within the company. Each type of communication requires different levels of formality. Like any form of communication, workplace communication has differing styles. Styles of communication, coupled with the workplace hierarchy, create interesting and stressful results. Finally, workplace diversity leads to communication problems and stress. As the workplace becomes more diversified, methods of communication must become more precise. Let us first approach this subject from the subordinate employees' point of view."
