This paper discusses factors which lead to the appearance of conflicts, as well as the effect of such conflicts on workplace satisfaction. Conflicts are quite common in the workplace, which makes it necessary to find methods of conflict resolution. A survey has determined that there are existing conflicts in the selected company which have different causes; and that these conflicts, regardless of the factors causing them, consequently result in workplace dissatisfaction. There are two types of conflicts most often present in companies – structural and personal conflicts. The first type of conflict relates to dissatisfaction with goals that need to be achieved and the method of achieving them. The second type are emotional conflicts which occur after personal altercations of individuals. Conflicts in the workplace are inevitable, and it is important to support constructive conflicts which will improve the organization’s business. Managers on all levels have the key role in resolving conflicts. Most conflicts are a good opportunity for achieving better business results and advances in thinking and behaviour. Conflicts in the workplace affect the employees’ satisfaction as well, since employees who are experiencing a conflict in the workplace feel less satisfied than employees who were not exposed to a conflict situation. Although conflicts are a very important factor of perceiving workplace satisfaction, there are other factors, relating to personality traits, which affect workplace satisfaction. It is very important to recognise conflict situations in the workplace and to react in a manner that is suitable for constructive conflict resolution. The result of this is that employees are satisfied, which allows for a certain level of guarantee of successful long-term business.
