Although many of us go great lengths to avoid it, sometimes it is just inevitable. People in the workplace setting will always have different ideas, values, and attitudes than others around them.

Depending on the approach and strategies utilized during and after a conflict will determine the result of the conflict. Conflict helps people recognize legitimate differences within an organization or profession and serves as a powerful motivator to improve performance and effectiveness, as well as satisfaction (CCN, 2017).

Inverse relationship between cognitive challenge and effort required to sustain attention has long been known to industrial psychologists: simple, repetitive tasks requiring continuous attention were often found to be associated with increased stress responses and higher subjective effort expenditure, as compared with more complex, variable tasks (Johansson, Aronsson, & Lindstrom, 1978; Frankenhaeuser & Gardell, 1976; Ulich,

It is vital to determine who is affected by job stress. It seems as though most people are affected by job stress at one time or another. Job stress is on the rise. People all over the world are beginning to suffer from job stress. Job stress doesn't occur in just one profession but it tends to occur more in streamlined countries. Job stress can affect an employee's personal life. Job stress can cause anxiety, depression, ulcers, chronic disease, and heart disease. In most job stress related cases, individuals are distressed by trying to combine occupational and family demands, such as caring for their children or sick and aging parents (Wiersma & Berg, 1991, p.1210). According to Lazarus (1991), employees who are not able to control their lives at their working place are more likely to suffer occupational stress and thus, can experience impaired health (p.4). Numerous studies have shown that low control, heavy job demands may cause mental strain, job dissatisfaction, cardiovascular disease, etc. (Locke & Taylor, 1990, p. 160). Family responsibilities also became a source of stress. It usually occurs in single parent families or in those which both parents work. This

Abusive leaders blame, divide, marginalize, undermine, and intimidate employees (Kellerman, 2004; Kusy & Holloway, 2009). They torment their subordinates to the detriment of both the mission and people, undermining a positive organizational climate (Ashforth, 1994; Reed, 2004). Their behaviors create an environment that build walls, and crushes creativity and loyalty. As this type of incivility whether from a leader or colleague, has been found to impact productivity. For example, Kusy and Holloway (2009) found that 50 percent of those who experienced incivility reported spending time concerning about it instead of working, while 25 percent explicitly said they cut back their work activity. These responses indicate that long term toxicity can and often decrease creativity and innovation.

Contemporary gender-role attitudes have changed partly as a response to the steady increase in women’s participation in the labor force. Although this increase was especially evident in the 1970s and 1980s, as was the move toward more egalitarian attitudes, it continued in the 1990s through the present. College-educated men and women are less likely to hold traditional ideas about gender, work and family roles. Within the family, attitudes toward gender roles have become more liberal, moving in the direction of sharing of housework and childcare. (Cohen, Devault & Strong, 2011). An ideal for modern family is to share wage-earning and family responsibilities in equal basis (Lamanna, Riedman and Strahm, 2012).

There are three ways in which participation in multiple roles—often referred to as role accumulation—can produce positive outcomes for individuals. First, work experiences and family experiences can have additive effects on well-being. Research has consistently demonstrated that role accumulation can have beneficial effects on physical and psychological well-being, especially when the roles are of high quality. In addition, satisfaction with work and satisfaction with family have been found to have additive effects on an individual’s happiness, life satisfaction, and perceived quality of life. Such research suggests that individuals who participate in—and are satisfied with—work and family roles experience greater well-being than those who participate in only one of the roles or who are dissatisfied with one or more of their roles. Second, participation in both work and family roles can buffer individuals from distress in one of the roles. For example, research has shown that the relationship between family stressors and impaired well-being is weaker for individuals who have more satisfying, high-quality work experiences. In a similar vein, the relationship between work stress and impaired well-being is attenuated for individuals who have a more satisfying, high-quality family life. These moderator effects suggest that a diverse portfolio of social roles buffers an individual
