Enduring conflict deteriorates the work
climate and may reinforce rumination, alcohol intake, and sleep problems.
This, in turn, may negatively affect the physical and psychological well-being
of the individuals involved (Cooper & Marshall, 1976; Dana & Griffin,
1999). In other words, the occurrence of conflict at work results in a decline
in physical and psychic functioning which, in the long run, produces
psychosomatic complaints, and feelings of burnout.
