The review of relevant literature shows that conflict is an essential and unavoidable human phenomenon because where there is human interaction, there is a likelihood of personal likes and dislikes. These agreements and disagreements among individuals and groups in the school sometimes lead to conflict. Conflicts are neither constructive nor disruptive but the ways these are handled in the school make them either positive or negative. Causes of conflict include difference in perceptions, limited resources, overlapping authority amongst others; while conflict management strategies include accommodation, avoidance, competition and collaboration. Based on this discussion, the paper suggests that there should be regular staff meetings, good communication network and the teachers’ and students’ code of conduct should be made available to all staff and students so as to know their limit and avoid conflict.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Conflict, school, management. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [chublessdi@gmail.com](chublessdi@gmail.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nConflict is a common occurrence in organisations. It is an inevitable part of organisational life because the goals of different stakeholders are often incompatible. The level of conflict present in the school has important implications for the schools’ overall performance. When there is little or no conflict, organisational performance suffers. Lack of conflict in an organisation often signals that managers emphasize conformity at the expense of new ideas, are resistant to change and strive for agreement rather than effective decision making (Jones, 2000) . When conflict increases from a low level to a very high level it escalate, organisational performance suffers. When an organisation has a dysfunctionally high level of conflict, administrators are likely to waste organisational resources to achieve their own ends, to be more concerned about winning political battles than about doing what will lead to a competitive advantage for their organisation, and to try to get even with their opponents rather than make good decisions. When an organisation has an optimum level of conflict, organisational effectiveness is likely to increase. Administrators are likely to be open to encourage a variety of perspective, look for ways to improve organisational functioning effectiveness and view debates and disagreements as a  \nnecessary ingredient for effective decision making (Mullins, 2010) . Conflicts at present continue to be a factor in academic life. Schools frequently appear to be centres of tension on occasion. The term conflict is viewed in a variety of ways because of its confusion with those conditions which lead to situations of different conflict (Okotoni, 2002) .  \nAccording to Denisi and Griffin (2005), conflict is a process resulting in the perceptions of two parties that are working in opposition to each other in ways that result in feelings of discomfort and/or animosity. Conflict is a process not a singular event. It evolves over time and draws upon previous events. While it may emerge as a result of a specific event, more than likely, it has been brewing for sometime. Parties involved in conflict may be individuals, groups and/or organisation. In the light of the above, this paper highlights the types of conflict, causes of conflict as well as recommendations for effective management of possible conflict situations in schools.  \nCAUSES OF CONFLICT IN SCHOOLS  \nThere are many potential causes of conflict in the school.  \nMullius (2010) enumerated the causes of conflict as follows:  \nLimited resou","cbCaiquw4rwAY3D7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiquw4rwAY3D7","pdf",44218,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Causes of Conflict in Schools\n## Limited resources\n## Poor communication network\n## Task inter-dependence\n## Overlapping authority\n## Role conflict\n## Inequitable treatment\n# Types of Conflict","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper identify as the key causes of school-related conflict?\",\"answer\":\"The paper identifies differences in perceptions, limited resources, poor communication networks, task inter-dependence, overlapping authority, role conflict, and inequitable treatment as major causes.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper describe the relationship between conflict handling and outcomes in schools?\",\"answer\":\"Conflicts themselves are not inherently constructive or disruptive; the outcomes depend on how the school handles them, which can make conflicts either positive or negative.\"},{\"question\":\"Which conflict management strategies does the paper recommend?\",\"answer\":\"The paper recommends accommodation, avoidance, competition, and collaboration as conflict management strategies.
