Constructive conflict is a type of conflict that encourages employees to re-examine their basic assumptions about a problem and its possible solution. It is a positive and productive way of handling conflict that can lead to creative solutions and improved relationships. It is not the opposite of task-related conflict, which is a type of conflict that arises from disagreements about work tasks or responsibilities. It is also not one of the dysfunctional outcomes of conflict, which include violence, aggression, and withdrawal. Finally, it is not the most common outcome of arbitration, which is a legal process for resolving disputes outside of the court system. It may sometimes replace manifest conflict in the conflict process, but this is not always the case.
