Every
workplace has an own conflict whether it gives the positive effect or the
negative effect. Nevertheless, it can disrupt the company reputation. Conflict
can be happened itself or existed by employees itself. Sometimes, conflict may be caused by the management
whether from the aspects of intricate rules, tight schedule and others.
Sometimes also, conflict may be caused by employees who dissatisfied with the
leadership style of superior administer and manage the subordinates.
From
the aspect of management such as complicated rules, tight schedule and others,
we difficult to dispute. It is because when we agreed to work or employed in a
company, we must accept whatever the rules that determined. When we do not
accept the determined rules, what for we work at that company. Perhaps, we
better resign from working at that company because do not be able to
accommodate at that company from coerced to willing ourselves to work
comfortably at there. However, when we are not comfortable with the determined
rules, we can voice out dissatisfaction or an opinion prudently to the
superior. Despite that, not all superior can accept the opinion from their
subordinates. When they listen to their subordinate’s opinions, maybe they will
feel that their ego will be defied. They also will feel that their subordinates
are not qualified to voice out their opinion or suggestion to them. It is
because they feel they are qualified to make a decision for any matter without
requiring their subordinate’s opinion. It caused that they are superior. This
is clear to show their unprofessional and unopen-minded in listening other’s
opinion. When this occurred, their subordinates will feel uncomfortable and
humble for voicing out their opinion and suggestion. It will evoke the
unhealthy situation between superior and subordinate.
Besides,
conflict can be happened when discrimination done by the management toward some
employees. Generally, some company owned by Chinese people, unjust to Malay
employees. One of the unfair management is apportionment of salary rate among
Chinese employees and Malay employees. We may take an example from a factory in
Johor that 100% owned by Chinese people which the salary rate are given to
Chinese employees are higher than Malay employees. As an example, the salary
rate which given to Chinese employees who work as a technician that have a
diploma qualification are RM1,800.00 even though do not have any experience.
Differs with the salary rate which given to Malay employees who work as a
technician that have a diploma qualification are in range of RM1,100.00 to RM1,300.00
although have a suffice experience. Occasionally, some Chinese employees do not
have a skill that needed for some employment. Although that, they still
employed. Most of them are more to know the theory aspect than the dexterity
aspect. Not only that, the promotion over Malay employees also difficult done
by the Chinese owner of a company. Although not all company do like that, but
most of the Chinese owner of a company do in that way. They are more prioritizing
their community because maybe they want to help their community first than
other communities. This will raise dissatisfaction among Malay employees. When
this happens, this will increase the cessation rate among Malay employees. Even
though Human Resource Department which taking care of employee's welfare in a company,
sometimes they cannot do anything because its subject to the owner of a
company, especially if the owner of a company is Chinese peoples. Meanwhile,
for the Malay owner of a company, they seldom do like that. Do not know what
the cause, perhaps their way of thinking are differ with the Chinese owner of a
company. Although this is difficult to agreed, but for the reality, this is
actually happens at this time. However, it has ever to occur when some
employees are wise to ingratiate their employer, maybe they easy to get the
promotion immediately irrespective of either woman or man. It depends on the
superior to make a decision shrewdly and rationally.
From
the aspect of conflict that caused by the employee itself, at times, some
employees dissatisfied with their friend’s promotion. Probably on their mind, ‘why
she qualified whereas why i am not? I am more qualified.’ When this raise,
the relationship between her and her friend will become estrange and hostile,
whereas before this, it is not. Other than that, some employees dissatisfied
with privilege and attention that given by the superior differ with other
employees. Some employees are given more privilege and attention, while some are
not. As an example, some employees easy to apply leave such as sick leave,
emergency leave and others, some difficult to get the leave approval.
Nevertheless, perhaps it subject to employee’s attitude and performance itself.
Here,
we able to conclude that although conflict in the workplace gives more negative
effects than positive effects, it remains able to contribute the positive
change to each employee. Every employee gets to study from the past mistake for
become the best and dedicated employee. It means an experience teach the
meaning of life to become better. Deem this conflict as a journey in wading the
world of employment.
*When you see the sentence of 'Sometimes, conflict may be caused by the management whether from the aspects of intricate rules, tight schedule and others. Sometimes also, conflict may be caused by employees who dissatisfied with the leadership style of superior administer and manage the subordinates', i try to say that it means conflict may be caused by any matter either by the management or the employees itself. Based on the sentence of paragraph 3, i use proof substitute, which 'for the Malay owner of a company, they seldom do like that. Do not know what the cause, perhaps their way of thinking are differ with the Chinese owner of a company. Although this is difficult to agreed, but for the reality, this is actually happens at this time', i have no proof to show that it really happens. I want to state my view that most of the Malay owner of a company rarely to treat their employees unfairly. They are too kindly and softly. Perhaps, we can see generally in Malaysia. However, not all Chinese employer treat their employees unjustly. Some of them are give an attention to their employees better than Malay employer itself.
