Do you have conflicts with colleagues?

Which IT specialist is the most controversial?

Most of the conflicts with colleagues are managers, administrators and designers: two of the three specialists in these fields of activity say that they have conflicts. Most likely, this is due to the need to work and interact with more colleagues.

Developers have the least conflicts, especially front-end vendors and back-tenders: only one of the two specialists in these fields indicated that they have conflicts.

How often do you have conflicts and how much they have been over the past year?

Do you have any unpleasant feelings from the conflict and have conflicts brought you serious consequences?

For every third, conflicts involve a long experience of negative emotions: from a day or more. But this can not affect the performance. However, only one out of every five speaks of serious consequences. Perhaps people simply prefer not to complain.

What position do you most often have in a conflict?

Most IT professionals conflict over work tasks that they cannot agree on. Three or four of the five experts call this item as a possible cause of conflict.

The next most frequent source of conflict is when someone does not fulfill their obligations. In most fields, every second person calls it a possible cause of conflict. However, for administrators and managers, default is the same or even more frequent source of conflict than project disputes.

Administrators, testers and software developers, a little more often than others, point out causes that are not directly related to work as a potential source of conflict. This is evidenced by every fifth in these areas. Most likely, these are mainly personal factors.

And managers and designers more often than others face problems of subordination - every sixth of them talk about such conflicts.

Of course, there are always those who deny their own guilt in the occurrence of a difficult situation.

Managers and administrators themselves have slightly less conflicts with managers. And the least of all conflicts with the managers of testers. Here, only every sixth has designated the manager as a possible party to the conflict.

Mobile designers and front-vendors are in the most conflict with designers. About every third of these conflicts reported. And this is understandable - these developers, by the nature of their activities, are directly related to the results of designers' work.

Administrators, managers and software developers are in conflict with office administration most of all. Among administrators, two out of five speak of such conflicts.

Again, with administrators of personnel, administrators and managers are in conflict more than others. Every tenth among them speaks of such conflicts.

Also slightly higher than the average, the percentage of denial of conflict among administrators and software developers.
