Abstract

Centralization of power, excessive formalization, organizational differentiation, dependence on common resources and status differences between departments are some of the sources of conflict identified in this paper.Strategies to minimize dysfunctional conflict includes modifying the structure of sports organizations, fewer departmentalization, adopting a structure that promotes decentralization and using some forms of collaborative strategies.
