Abstract:

Conflict, which is frequently encountered in organizations and causes many negative organizational outcomes if not managed effectively, emerges as an even more important concept, especially in areas where health is managed.In this sense, it is important for managers to recognize conflict and accept that it is a phenomenon that needs to be managed. The aim of this study is to reveal the reasons for conflict with the perspectives of health administrators and to determine the place of knowledge in theory in practice. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight health managers. The obtained data were analyzed by thematic analysis method. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the causes of conflict experienced by health administrators in their own organizations are similar. In addition, the view that conflict should be managed and that a conflict that is kept at an optimal level within the institution can be beneficial is defended by all managers.
