Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organizational conflict arises from less participation in decision-making, which is evident from the resistance of some nurses who have enjoyed working with less autonomy. The establishment of a shared governance model, while increasing autonomy through self-governance, may lead to a clash of expectations and a reluctance to participate in decision-making, ultimately leading to conflict. A flat organizational structure refers to a horizontal arrangement of positions where there are fewer levels of management, which may or may not be a contributing factor to conflict. Clarity in role responsibilities is essential to promote a sense of order and discipline in the organizational structure but may not cause organizational conflict. Hence, the best choice is D.
