One of the problems workers have in organizations is lack of good relationship with their superiors. There are various reasons for this to occur. However, we will look at one of its causes - promotion. Whenever promotion occurs in organization, there are always the happy and the unhappy ones. Those who are promoted are happy while those who are not, are unhappy. There are those who think they are more qualified for promotion than those promoted. There is also the problem of promoting someone to lead his peers.
In the first case, those who feel more qualified, but not promoted do not accept their new leaders and conflict is created. There was an Organization where this problem was evident. In this, one of the two middle-level managers was promoted to a senior level position while the more experienced one was not. The more experienced one could not support the situation that he had to leave for another organization where he took an even lower position than his original position. However, there was conflict with the new boss before he left for another company. Others who did not leave stayed, but continued complaining and showing dissatisfaction.
Conflict arises because a new leader does not feel very comfortable to command his former peers. The second is that the subordinates apply a lot of resistance in taking orders from the new leader. In some situations, the president of the organization spend time mediating the conflict. Many companies do not consider it as a conflict because it seems to be subtle or may die away after sometime. As a result of the conflict resulting from promotion, the following questions are posed. How should organizations promote their staff? How should organizations address the promotion problem when it occurs? Watch out for the answers to these questions in the next posts.
