Investigating the relationship between interpersonal conflict, job satisfaction and organisational self-esteem

Abstract

Interpersonal conflict, job satisfaction, and organisational self-esteem are interconnected concepts that influence employee well-being, motivation, and overall performance in the workplace. Understanding the intricate relationship between these three factors is crucial for organisations seeking to foster a positive and productive work environment. This paper investigates the relationship between interpersonal conflict, job satisfaction and organisational self-esteem to determine its meaning and significance on a sample of employees working in education in Constanta County. The main objectives were to investigate the relationship between interpersonal conflict and job satisfaction, between job satisfaction and organisational self-esteem, and between organisational self-esteem and interpersonal conflict. The findings from the sample of respondents were in line with those already established in the international literature. However, several particularities related to the diverse organisational environment and the specific characteristics of a multicultural environment, such as the Dobrogea area, have their mark, leaving room for further study and improvement.
