Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The root cause of conflict is likely to be organizational change or competition over resources, as Candace is making decisions that affect employees and the way they do business in response to financial pressures. This can lead to conflicts over job security, workload, and other issues. The other options, such as adversarial management, ineffective communication, and value/personality clashes may also contribute to conflict, but are secondary to the primary cause of organizational change and competition over resources.
