Conflict Management

Conflict is part of life, and it is perhaps inevitable in the Da’wah community. Conflict occurs when individuals are not obtaining what they need or want (different opinion) and are seeking their own self-interest. This statement was revealed by Rina Mulyani, S.Psi MPsi.

She urged that the conflict should be managed properly. According to her, unresolved conflict may affect the atmosphere in the team. It creates a distrustful team environment. However, conflict can improve problem identification and enhance team development. Rina Mulyani who is also Lecture of Psychology Department UII stressed out that conflict should be managed properly by recognizing the different type of conflict and identifying causes of conflict. “When managed properly, conflict can result in benefits for Da’wah community.” She added.
