Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual conflict arises when team members have different views, opinions, or interpretations of a situation. In this example, Tim and Tom have different perceptions of the conflict within the team, making it a perceptual conflict. Process conflict arises due to differences in how team members work together, task conflict arises due to differences in opinions about the task itself, and proportional conflict arises due to the perceived unfairness of resource distribution.
