Within research regarding superior-subordinate conflict there is noticeable variation. Scientists have found different answers to the question: what causes superior-subordinate conflicts in the workplace. A literature-study was conducted to examine the different scientific studies in the area and try to find a conclusion to what causes the variation and how it affects how one views the social phenomena that is superior-subordinate conflicts. The results indicate that (1) depending on theoretical standpoint the responsibility for the conflict is shifted. (2) Depending on methodical preference the conflict is more or less likely to be viewed as collectively created. In addition to this a Marxian perspective was added in an analytical discussion. Showing that using this theoretical standpoint conflicts can be portrayed as something positive.
