INTRODUCTION
Organization is an identifiable social entity whose members pursue multiple goals collectively. The pursuance of these goals is done side by side with their personal goals and aspirations through their coordinated activities and relationships.
Hence, organization has people, materials and goals that are achieved through coordination. An organization exists to provide goods and services that people desire.
These goods and services are the products of the behaviours of workers who occupy different level of the organizational structure. These people have different cultures, skills and educational background as well as different perceptions, roles, expectations and values.
However, the establishment and continuous existence of organization through the and objectives requires the continuous and effective functioning of its material input with the human element being indispensable.
The required to facilitate goals attainment often engage in disagreement and variance over factors such as; interest, views, style of management among others.
