Abstract

This article conducts a literature review on social thought related to conflict with the aim of providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of this phenomenon in companies and organizations. Heuristics is used as a selective and random hermeneutic method to identify various theoretical and methodological currents in sociological theory, including Marxist, functionalist, and structuralist perspectives. The objective is to determine their strengths and limitations, taking into account their connection with North American administrative theory associated with the functionalist current. Additionally, the article establishes differences in interpreting conflict in Eastern and Western thinking.
